The meteoric rise of singer D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, has been abruptly interrupted by a chilling discovery. On September 8, the decomposed body of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found in the front trunk of D4vd’s Tesla in Hollywood. The young artist, who gained fame through TikTok and online gaming, was performing his hit song ‘Romantic Homicide’ in Minneapolis just a day after the grim discovery. The song, ironically, is a brooding breakup anthem about killing an ex without remorse. Rivas Hernandez, a first-generation Salvadoran-American, had been reported missing multiple times since 2024. Her family described her as a beloved daughter and sister, now left heartbroken by her tragic death. The case has sparked widespread intrigue, with fans and true-crime enthusiasts speculating about the connection between the teen and the singer. D4vd, who has yet to publicly comment on the case, is cooperating with authorities and has hired a high-profile criminal defense attorney. The investigation, which could take months, has yet to determine the cause of death or establish any criminal culpability beyond the concealment of the body. Meanwhile, D4vd’s career has suffered significant setbacks, with his world tour cancelled and endorsements dropped. The mystery deepens as questions linger about the relationship between the singer and the deceased teen, and the slow progress of the LAPD’s investigation.
