Overview
- TMZ and other outlets report Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s dismembered remains were found in September in a Tesla registered to singer David Burke, known as d4vd, with body parts described as partially frozen.
- LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division is treating the case as a homicide and served a September 17 search warrant at a Hollywood Hills address linked to the artist, recovering items for analysis.
- A new TMZ report highlights a large freezer at a residence tied to d4vd, which police are assessing as they reconstruct potential storage and handling of the remains.
- Media accounts say the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner may be unable to determine a definitive cause or manner of death due to the condition of the body.
- Investigators have identified d4vd as a suspect, are looking into a second person of interest and a spring trip to remote Santa Barbara County, and there have been conflicting claims about his cooperation; no arrests have been announced.
