D4vd Manager Denies Knowledge as L.A. Death Probe Awaits Autopsy in Teen Found in Singer’s Tesla

The cause and manner of Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s death remain deferred pending laboratory findings.

Overview

  • LAPD says the teen’s remains were in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to David Burke and the car sat for weeks before tow-yard staff reported a foul odor.
  • The medical examiner listed the cause and manner as deferred and said a determination could take months; official paperwork shows Rivas was not pregnant.
  • Manager Josh Marshall posted on TikTok that he had "zero knowledge" and disputed claims linking him to the Hollywood Hills rental or vehicles.
  • No arrests or charges have been announced; D4vd’s team says he is cooperating as tours and brand promotions are cancelled or pulled.
  • Texas police treated a Sept. 18 call to the singer’s family home as a swatting hoax after finding no threat.
