15-year-old girl found dead in singer D4vd's abandoned Tesla

In the United States, on September 8, 2025, a 15-year-old girl named Celeste Rivas was discovered deceased in the trunk of a Tesla that belonged to artist David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd. Authorities located her body at a Hollywood tow yard after responding to complaints about a foul odor emanating from the vehicle. The Tesla had been abandoned for an extended period before it was towed, with neighbors reporting foul smells for weeks. Rivas, who had been reported missing from Lake Elsinore last year, was identified through forensic means by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's office. Her body was found in an advanced state of decomposition, making it difficult for investigators to determine the cause of death. According to the police, the investigation into her untimely death is being led by the Robbery-Homicide Division of the Los Angeles Police Department, which has not made any arrests at this time. Both the time and circumstances surrounding Rivas' death remain undetermined, complicating the ongoing investigation as detectives continue to gather evidence and leads. D4vd, who was on a North American tour at the time of the discovery, is reportedly cooperating with investigators. Additionally, authorities executed a search warrant at a home in the Hollywood Hills where D4vd had been staying. While the investigation continues, the case has caught public attention, especially as connections are made to D4vd's music career amid the tragic discovery. Following the news, D4vd's song 'Romantic Homicide' re-entered various Billboard charts due to a spike in interest, sparking discussions about the potential impact of tragedy on an artist's work and public perception.
