Overview

• The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the body is that of Celeste Rivas Hernández, identified at age 15.
• Tow-yard staff reported a strong odor before authorities found her dismembered remains inside a bag in the Tesla’s front trunk on September 8.
• Police searched a residence where the singer had been staying near where the car was parked, inspecting drains for biological traces and collecting multiple items for analysis.
• No arrests have been made, the case has not been classified as a homicide, and advanced decomposition is complicating determination of cause and manner of death; the artist is cooperating and canceled his tour.
• Investigators are examining documented links between Rivas and the singer, including a matching “Shhh...” finger tattoo, her appearance on a January 2024 livestream, and her family’s statement that she had a boyfriend named David.
