Body Identified, Hollywood Hills Home Searched, and Streaming Numbers Surge Amid Scandal

September 22, 2025: The investigation into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas has taken a dramatic turn after her body was officially identified inside a Tesla registered to rising singer d4vd (David Anthony Burke). Authorities confirmed that Rivas’ remains were discovered on September 8 when the car, emitting a foul odor, was towed and searched. The cause of death remains under review by the medical examiner.

Hollywood Hills Home Raided

Earlier this week, law enforcement executed a search warrant at a Hollywood Hills residence where d4vd had been staying. Investigators seized a computer and other items for forensic analysis. While the house is not owned by the singer, officials confirmed it was being used by him during recent visits to Los Angeles.

Tours and Album Put on Hold

In the wake of the investigation, d4vd has cancelled all remaining dates of his Withered World Tour in both the U.S. and Europe. Plans to release a deluxe edition of his acclaimed album Withered have also been suspended as the case unfolds.

Music Surges Despite Controversy

Ironically, the scandal has fueled a spike in d4vd’s music streams. His breakout hit “Romantic Homicide” has climbed Spotify’s global charts, prompting heated debate among fans about supporting the artist while a death investigation remains active. Several collaborators have quietly distanced themselves, citing the ongoing probe.

Ongoing Investigation

As of now, no charges have been filed and d4vd is reportedly cooperating fully with authorities. Detectives continue to piece together Rivas’ final days, with forensic evidence from the Tesla and the Hollywood Hills property expected to play a crucial role in determining what happened.
