Overview

• LAPD says Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s remains were placed in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to David Burke, and the car sat for weeks, making it likely she had been dead for some time before discovery.
• The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner lists the cause of death as deferred, with autopsy and toxicology results expected to take months.
• Manager Josh Marshall publicly denied any involvement or prior knowledge in a TikTok statement and urged creators to correct misinformation, calling this his only comment for now.
• Police in Texas responded to a hoax ‘swatting’ call at Burke’s family home on Sept. 18, reviewed the property, and found no threat, according to bodycam footage.
• Industry fallout widened as Burke canceled remaining tour dates, including newly scrapped Australian shows, and brands such as Crocs and Hollister pulled him from marketing while the investigation continues.
