Mysterious Female Body Found in d4vd’s Car
d4vd, a U.S. pop singer who debuted in 2021 and has been active for five years as a singer-songwriter, now appears to be entangled in an unexpected death case.
While he was recently touring across the United States, a woman’s body was discovered inside a Tesla vehicle he owned. The car had been towed and stored in a lot in Los Angeles, where the body was eventually found.
People became suspicious due to a strong odor coming from the vehicle. Upon checking the trunk, they discovered what appeared to be a dismembered body and immediately reported it to the police.
At present, crimes such as murder, body disposal, and kidnapping are being considered, though no direct charges against d4vd have been confirmed. Despite this, advertisers are reportedly distancing themselves from him due to the controversy.
Victim Identified as 15-Year-Old Celeste Rivas
According to U.S. authorities on September 16, the victim found in the vehicle was identified as Celeste Rivas, a 15-year-old minor.
Police confirmed her identity based on the clothing she was wearing—a tube top and black leggings—as well as a “shhh…” tattoo on her right hand. Due to the advanced state of decomposition, investigators believe a significant amount of time had passed between her death and the discovery of the body.
