In a chilling development surrounding the tragic death of Celeste Rivas, new reports from TMZ suggest that her body may have been stored in a freezer prior to its discovery. This unsettling revelation comes amid ongoing investigations into the circumstances of her demise.
TMZ has obtained photographs from inside the former Hollywood Hills rental home of the singer D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. These images reveal a freezer that appears sufficiently large to accommodate a human body, raising questions about its potential use in the case.
The investigation has already uncovered that parts of Celeste’s body were “partially frozen” before being found in the trunk of Burke’s Tesla. This grim detail adds a layer of complexity to the case, as authorities continue to piece together the facts surrounding her death.
Celeste Rivas, who was 5 feet, 3 inches tall and weighed 120 pounds, was discovered in a horrifying state, with her body reportedly decapitated and some limbs missing. Such details have intensified the focus on how her remains were handled and stored in the days following her death.
The Los Angeles Police Department discovered Celeste’s remains on September 8. Her body was found inside Burke’s Tesla, which had been parked in the upscale Bird Streets area of the Hollywood Hills, where Burke resided. As the investigation unfolds, the community remains on edge, awaiting further developments.
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.
The vehicle had been at the lot for several days before LAPD officers made the discovery. LAPD said Celeste’s dismembered body had been put in a bag and left in the front trunk.
Meanwhile, Burke, who is now considered a suspect in the case, has reportedly been uncooperative.
Police have not confirmed whether the freezer was used to store the victim’s body.
