The decomposed body found on September 8, 2025, inside a Tesla registered to the singer known as d4vd (real name David Anthony Burke) was identified as 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. She had been reported missing in 2024. The remains were found in the front trunk (frunk) of the impounded Tesla at a Los Angeles tow yard after authorities responded to a foul odor complaint. The cause and time of death have not yet been determined, and investigations are ongoing. Celeste was approximately 5 feet 2 inches tall, had wavy black hair, and was dressed in a tube top and black leggings at the time of discovery. She also had a distinctive tattoo on her right index finger reading "Shhh..." which is notably similar to a tattoo that d4vd himself has on the same finger. Law enforcement has executed search warrants at a Hollywood Hills home where d4vd had been staying as part of the investigation. No arrests have been made, and the investigation continues. D4vd canceled some of his tour dates following the discovery.
This summary covers the relationship between d4vd, the discovery of the body in the Tesla, and the ongoing investigation into the death of the teenage girl found in his car.
