Police Say D4vd Not Cooperating as Teen’s Death in Tesla Is Probed as Homicide

Charging decisions hinge on pending forensic results, including the medical examiner’s toxicology report.

Overview

  • A police source tells People that investigators have not interviewed the singer and that he has not cooperated since the case began.
  • Detectives are treating Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s death as a homicide and have identified D4vd as a suspect, though no arrest has been made.
  • The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has deferred the cause and manner of death pending additional testing, with toxicology still outstanding.
  • Investigators have not pinpointed a time of death; a police source says springtime is the earliest likely window based on current information.
  • LAPD executed a search at the Hollywood Hills rental and seized evidence after tow-yard workers reported a foul odor from the impounded Tesla where her decomposing remains were found, and a prior police source said the dismemberment likely involved more than one person.
