The decomposed body found last week in singer D4vd’s Tesla at a Los Angeles impound lot was identified as a 15-year-old girl.
The girl, Celeste Rivas, was identified through forensics, NBC Los Angeles reported. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s Office has not yet determined a cause of death.
The remains were found Sept. 8 after Los Angeles police were called to Hollywood Tow because of a foul odor coming from the Tesla, according to NBC Los Angeles and a police statement. The vehicle was impounded after a person reported that it had been abandoned.
The medical examiner’s office said the girl was wearing a tube top, black leggings, a yellow metal chain bracelet, and stud earrings. She was described as having wavy black hair and weighing about 71 pounds, the office said.
Law enforcement sources told NBC News that the remains were not intact. The medical examiner had said that it appeared the girl had been dead inside the car for an extended period of time.
A spokesperson for D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, said that he was informed about what happened and was “fully cooperating with the authorities.”
When news broke of the remains being found, the “Romantic Homicide” singer was on his Withered World Tour. He is scheduled to perform on Wednesday at Showbox SoDo in Seattle, Washington.
