Police confirmed the body found in singer D4vd’s Tesla belongs to a teenage girl. Authorities are investigating how the remains ended up in the car’s trunk while the star was on tour.
Grim Discovery in Pop Star’s Vehicle
Authorities in Los Angeles have confirmed the identity of a body found in the impounded Tesla belonging to rising pop star D4vd. The discovery was made after complaints about a strong odor coming from the vehicle, which had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills before being towed to an impound lot.
The remains, described as severely decomposed, were located inside a bag in the Tesla’s front trunk.
Victim Identified as Teenage Girl
According to the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, the victim is a teenage girl believed to be between 14 and 15 years old. Her name has not been released, as authorities are still working to notify her family.
She was described as 5’1” in height, weighing 71 pounds, with black hair and a tattoo on her right index finger that reads “Shhh…”. She was wearing black leggings, a tube top, a stud earring, and a bracelet shaped like the letter “W.”
D4vd Responds Through Spokesperson
D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is currently on tour but has been informed of the disturbing discovery. A spokesperson told NBC Los Angeles:
“D4vd has been informed about what’s happened. Although he is currently on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities.”
The singer, best known for his viral hits “Here With Me” and “Romantic Homicide,” may have lent the Tesla to someone, though it remains unclear whether the vehicle was stolen.
Ongoing Investigation
Police confirmed that before being impounded, the Tesla was found abandoned in the Hollywood Hills with Texas license plates. ABC7 cameras captured footage of officers searching the vehicle before it was towed away.
The investigation is ongoing, and detectives are working to determine how the body ended up in the car and whether foul play is involved.
D4vd’s Rising Career Interrupted by Tragedy
The shocking discovery comes at a time when D4vd’s music career is rapidly ascending. After debuting at Coachella earlier this year and performing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the 20-year-old artist is scheduled to continue his global tour in Europe next month.
Just days before news of the Tesla incident, D4vd promoted the deluxe edition of his debut album “Withered”, set for release on September 19th. On Instagram, he called it a “passion project” and thanked his collaborators, writing: “Everyone ATE THEIR VERSES UP ❤️❤️❤️.”
Community Shocked, Questions Remain
The case has left both fans and the Los Angeles community stunned. Police are urging anyone with information about the girl’s identity or how the Tesla came to contain her remains to come forward.
For now, the pop star’s focus remains split between his music and the unfolding investigation tied to his vehicle.
