Teen runaway was likely dead for ‘several weeks’ before her remains were found in D4vd’s Tesla: cops

Teen Runaway Found Dead in Rapper D4vd’s Abandoned Tesla

Authorities in Los Angeles were shocked when the decomposed body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was discovered inside singer D4vd’s abandoned Tesla. The grim find was made on September 8th, revealing that the teen had likely been dead for several weeks before being found.

The investigation into Celeste’s death began after the vehicle was towed to a Hollywood lot, a day after what would have been her 15th birthday. The tragic discovery shed light on the mysterious circumstances surrounding her death.

LAPD Captain Scot M. Williams stated, “We know that the Tesla had been parked at the location from which it was towed for several weeks, so it is very likely Celeste Rivas Hernandez had been dead for several weeks prior to her body being discovered.”

Despite the gruesome discovery, D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, has not been named as a suspect in the case. The singer-songwriter has been cooperating with authorities as they piece together the events leading to Celeste’s tragic demise.

Investigators raided the Hollywood Hills home where D4vd had been staying and seized several items of evidence. Connections between the teen and the pop star have continued to emerge, although the nature of their relationship remains unclear.

Old messages on D4vd’s Discord fan server hinted at a possible relationship between the rapper and a teen named “Celeste” in the years leading up to Rivas Hernandez’s death. Additionally, an unreleased track by D4vd mentioned the name “Celeste” twice, further fueling speculation about their association.

The investigation is ongoing, with authorities refraining from commenting on the specifics of the case. The cause and manner of Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s death have yet to be determined, leaving many questions unanswered in this tragic story.
