Overview
- Steve Fischer, a private investigator hired by the property owner, says he found a boxed, unused incinerator at the Hollywood Hills home previously rented by singer David Burke (D4vd).
- The device, marketed as a burn cage and advertised to reach about 1,600°F, is illegal to operate in Los Angeles and was reportedly delivered under a false name.
- Fischer says the item was not seized during the LAPD search because it showed no signs of use, and authorities have not identified it as evidence.
- Prosecutors have presented the case to an investigative grand jury, with reporting that a no-show witness may face a court order to compel testimony.
- Police are treating Celeste Rivas‑Hernandez’s death as a homicide after her remains were found in a Tesla registered to Burke; he is considered a suspect, no arrests or charges have been filed, and the medical examiner has not issued a final cause or manner of death.
