Medical Examiner Identifies Body Found in Tesla Registered to Rapper D4vd as 13-Year-Old Celeste Rivas

Authorities have opened an investigation into how the Riverside County teen ended up in the car.

Overview

  • The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the remains are those of Celeste Rivas, who was reported missing in April from Lake Elsinore.
  • Police discovered the body last week after a Hollywood impound lot reported a foul odor, and investigators say the car had sat parked for nearly a month before being towed.
  • Media reports say the remains were in an advanced state of decomposition, reportedly dismembered and wrapped in plastic.
  • TMZ reports the Tesla is registered to David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd, and had not been reported stolen.
  • A representative for the 20-year-old artist says he has been informed of the case and is cooperating with investigators, and his tour schedule currently continues with a Los Angeles show this weekend.
