Private Investigator Says Unused ‘Burn Cage’ Found at D4vd’s Former Rental as Homicide Probe Continues

Prosecutors have convened an investigative grand jury in a homicide case with no arrests.

Overview

  • Steve Fischer, a private investigator hired by the property owner, says he found a boxed, unused 55‑pound incinerator at the Hollywood Hills home previously rented by singer David Burke, known as D4vd.
  • He says the device is advertised to reach 1,600°F and is not legal to use in Los Angeles, and he described other items he believed could be used with it.
  • Fischer says deliveries tied to the incinerator arrived under a false name and the item was not seized during a police search.
  • The LAPD has not commented on the reported discovery, and a department captain recently refuted rumors that the victim was decapitated.
  • Police earlier identified remains found in a Tesla registered to Burke as those of Celeste Rivas and are treating her death as a homicide, while no cause of death, arrests, or charges have been announced.
