Coroner Releases Celeste Rivas’s Remains to Family as LAPD Homicide Probe Continues in Tesla Case

Detectives are analyzing evidence from a Hollywood Hills search with the cause of death still deferred.

Overview

  • The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner released the 15-year-old’s remains to her family on Sept. 23, with a memorial planned for early October.
  • Robbery–Homicide Division detectives executed a Sept. 17 search warrant at a Doheny Place residence tied to the case and seized electronics and other items for forensic review.
  • Officials list Sept. 8 as the date of death and the vehicle as the place of death, after tow-yard staff reported a foul odor from an impounded Tesla registered to singer d4vd.
  • No arrests have been made and police have not named a suspect, with representatives saying d4vd is cooperating as his tour is canceled and brand and label promotion is paused.
  • Images and clips circulating online, including alleged concert sightings, have not been independently verified, and investigators have cautioned against relying on unconfirmed material.
