A Freedom of Information Request has revealed police visited D4vd’s Los Angeles rental mansion two months before officials found a decomposing body in a Tesla belonging to the singer.
Police were alerted to a vehicle in a Hollywood tow yard in Los Angeles that had an unpleasant smell coming from it last month.
Upon further investigation, police made the horrifying discovery of a decomposing body in the trunk of the vehicle.
Authorities soon revealed that the car was registered to the singer D4vd, real name David Anthony Burke.
His representative previously said in a statement that the singer ‘has been informed about what’s happened, and although he is still out on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities’.Police have since identified the body as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas – who was reported missing in April 2024 when she was just 13 years old.
The police investigation into Rivas’ death remains ongoing, although no arrests have been made.
