R&B singer D4vd is facing fresh scrutiny in Los Angeles after an updated death certificate for 17-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez surfaced this week, raising new questions over whether the teenager was pregnant in the year before she died and further complicating the already high-profile murder case against him.

The investigation into D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, has been rolling forward since Celeste's dismembered remains were discovered in September 2025. According to court filings cited in the source material, prosecutors say Burke was the last person seen driving a Tesla in which her remains were later found. They further allege he bought tools, including chainsaws and a body bag, under a false identity before Celeste's death. None of those claims has been tested in court, and Burke has denied all charges.
