Body Parts found in Musician D4vd‘s Car Identified as Celeste Rivas; Cause of Death Likely Undetermined
Los Angeles, CA – Authorities have identified human remains discovered in the vehicle of rising music artist D4vd as those of 22-year-old Celeste Rivas, whose disappearance earlier this year sparked a widespread search. The discovery, made in late summer 2025, has led investigators to focus on a remote area of Santa Barbara County and a potential months-long delay between Rivas’ death and the disposal of her remains.
The case, which blends a missing persons investigation with a potential homicide, centers on the theory that Rivas’ body may have been stored in a freezer for an extended period before being transported in D4vd’s Tesla. While the exact cause of death remains undetermined, the circumstances surrounding the discovery and the timeline suggest a complex scenario that authorities are meticulously piecing together. The investigation is ongoing, with investigators seeking to establish a definitive cause of death and determine the sequence of events leading to Rivas’ remains being found.
According to reports,investigators are examining a trip D4vd allegedly took to a secluded location in Santa Barbara County in the spring of 2025,where he reportedly spent two hours. The significance of this trip is currently under investigation, with authorities exploring the possibility that Rivas’ body was brought to that location around the time of her disappearance, months before her remains were ultimately found in Los angeles.
The investigation continues as authorities work to uncover the full truth behind celeste Rivas’ death and the events that followed.
