A startling discovery has come to light in the former Hollywood Hills rental home of singer D4vd, also known as David Burke. A private investigator claims that an unused incinerator was found on the property, still sealed in its box.

Steve Fischer, a respected California private investigator, shared the revelation on X this past Tuesday. Hired by Burke’s previous landlord, Fischer explained that the incinerator was discovered in the home and had never been opened. He provided a link to the claim on his social media account.

The incinerator in question is advertised to reach temperatures of up to 1,600 degrees. Fischer noted that this is significantly higher than the approximate 1,400 degrees typically required for human cremation. He highlighted that the use of such an incinerator is illegal within city boundaries and serves no clear purpose in a residential area like the Hollywood Hills.

Speculation has arisen as to why the incinerator was there, with some suggesting it might have been intended as a prop for one of Burke’s music videos. However, the true reason remains unclear, leaving many to wonder what the real story behind this unusual find might be.

Some have reportedly argued that it could have been for one of Burke’s music videos.

“Why would a 55-pound burn cage be delivered to a private residence instead of directly to a prop designer or production house? Why would it be ordered before departing on an extended world tour?” Fischer asked.

“It is also important to note that there were additional items present that could be used in conjunction with the burn cage.”

As CrimeOnline previously reported, Los Angeles police found the remains of Burke’s alleged girlfriend, Celeste Rivas, on September 8, inside his Tesla. The vehicle had initially been parked near the rental home, in the flourishing Bird Streets neighborhood.

Police found the vehicle at a tow yard in Hollywood after residents in the Hollywood Hills neighborhood contacted police about an abandoned car with a Texas license plate on September 6.

Officials have not listed a cause of death, but authorities are treating Celeste’s death as a homicide.

Although no arrests have been made, prosecutors have now brought the case before an investigative grand jury.

Although my words have been misquoted by some, what I actually said about certain items found at the Doheny address was that they were “items you would expect to find on a farm rather than in a home in the Hollywood Hills.” One of those items was a Burn Cage incinerator,… pic.twitter.com/VlS2MHdb2G
