The body of 15-year-old celeste Rivas, found in the trunk of singer D4vd‘s abandoned Tesla in February, was frozen and decapitated, and investigators might potentially be unable too determine a definitive cause of death, according to law enforcement sources. The grim discovery, initially reported as a missing person case, has fueled a murder probe centered around the rising pop star, whose real name is David Castillo.
the case, unfolding over nearly a year, has captivated public attention due to the singer’s prominence and the disturbing circumstances surrounding Rivas’ death. Police are working to ascertain the extent of D4vd’s and potential accomplices’ involvement,but the examination has been hampered by a lack of cooperation from the musician. The inability to pinpoint a cause of death adds another layer of complexity to the case, perhaps impacting any future prosecution.
Rivas was reported missing in February, and her remains were discovered weeks later inside a Tesla rented by D4vd in the Angeles National Forest. Initial reports indicated the body was in an advanced state of decomposition, but further examination revealed it had been frozen and decapitated.
Investigators have been piecing together connections between Rivas and D4vd, including messages from his Discord fan server suggesting a relationship with a teen named “Celeste.” D4vd also referenced the name “Celeste” in an unreleased song, and Rivas’ mother confirmed her daughter had been dating someone named “David.”
Police are continuing to investigate the circumstances surrounding Rivas’ death and D4vd’s potential role. the singer’s Hollywood Hills mansion is being prepared to be relisted on the market as the investigation continues. D4vd has not been cooperating with authorities as the investigation began, according to reports.
