Singer D4VD Shares Matching Tattoo With Corpse Found In His Tesla

A decomposing body found in the boot of a Tesla registered to singer D4vd (David Anthony Burke) has been identified as a missing 15-year-old (though she was 13 when she disappeared) girl.

What happened:
On 8 September, police discovered human remains inside the trunk of the impounded Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard, responding to reports of a foul smell.

The vehicle was registered to D4vd, a well-known singer with viral hits like Here With Me and Romantic Homicide.

The body was in an advanced state of decomposition, wrapped in plastic. The clothes found: tube top, black leggings; also stud earrings, a yellow bracelet.

Screenshots and private messages from Discord and other social media platforms between 2022 and 2024 indicate a relationship between Celeste and D4vd, with Celeste being identified as his girlfriend in some chats. Some messages allegedly describe sexual encounters and suggest grooming when she was a minor.

Victim:
Identified as Celeste Rivas from Lake Elsinore, California.
She was 13 at the time she went missing (on 5 April 2024) and would have been 15 now.
The Medical Examiner noted: height about 5 ft 2 in (157 cm), wavy black hair. Also had a tattoo on her right index finger reading “Shhh.”
This “Shhh.” tattoo is also reportedly identical to one the singer D4vd has. Other eerie overlaps: her mother says her daughter had a boyfriend named David, and the singer’s name is David Anthony Burke.

Aftermath:
The cause of death is still “deferred” (pending further investigation).
D4vd is cooperating with authorities.
His tour schedule has been affected: the show in Seattle scheduled recently was cancelled.
