LAPD Opens Death Investigation After Human Remains Found in Tesla Registered to Singer D4vd

Identification is delayed due to severe decomposition.

Overview

  • Workers at Hollywood Tow reported a foul odor Monday, and officers found human remains wrapped in a bag inside the vehicle’s front trunk.
  • The 2023 Tesla, bearing Texas plates, was towed from the Hollywood Hills after being reported abandoned and had been at the lot for several days.
  • Law enforcement and the medical examiner have not released the identity or cause of death, and no suspects or charges have been announced.
  • A spokesperson says D4vd, legally David Anthony Burke, has been informed and is cooperating with investigators while continuing his tour, including a scheduled Minneapolis performance Tuesday.
  • Law enforcement sources told NBC News the remains were not intact and were heavily decomposed, which will slow forensic identification.
