URGENT UPDATE: Pop singer D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is now considered a suspect in the tragic death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas. The shocking development comes as investigators continue to probe the circumstances surrounding Rivas’ remains, discovered in the trunk of a vehicle owned by D4vd.
On September 8, 2024, the decomposed body of Rivas was found in a bag inside D4vd’s Tesla, which had been impounded and was located at a tow yard in Los Angeles. NBC Los Angeles reports that a police source stated D4vd has not been cooperating with the ongoing investigation, raising alarms as authorities sift through the details of this disturbing case.
According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office, Rivas had been deceased for “an extended period of time.” Although D4vd is currently a suspect, no arrests have been made yet, as confirmed by KABC Channel 7. Rivas was reported missing in early 2024 and had a history of running away from home, with her last known contact occurring in May 2024.
The investigation into Rivas’ death is still unfolding, with authorities waiting for the medical examiner to determine the official cause of death. This crucial information could potentially lead to an arrest and charges against D4vd.
D4vd, popular among Gen Z for his unique blend of indie rock, R&B, and lo-fi pop, gained widespread fame with his viral hit “Romantic Homicide,” which reached No. 4 on Billboard’s Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. He signed with Darkroom and Interscope and released his debut EP “Petals to Thorns” followed by “The Lost Petals” in 2023.
As the investigation progresses, D4vd’s planned tour dates have been canceled, drawing significant attention to both his career and the ongoing legal issues surrounding him. The singer’s status as a suspect in such a serious case has left fans and the music industry in shock, raising questions about the implications for his future.
Authorities continue to seek answers in this tragic situation, and updates are expected as more information becomes available. Stay tuned for the latest developments in this urgent case.
