Recently unveiled court documents have shed light on a gruesome discovery made by Los Angeles police: the dismembered remains of Celeste Rivas were found inside singer David Burke’s (known as D4vd) Tesla.
These revelations came to light through a “petition for attendance” acquired by Steve Fischer, a private investigator based in California. The petition disclosed that Rivas’s head and torso were concealed within a cadaver bag.
Initially kept under wraps in Los Angeles, the documents further detailed that authorities found another black bag containing additional body parts, noting that the remains were “severely decomposed” and “dismembered.”
The release of these documents was tied to subpoenas issued for Burke’s family members, compelling them to testify before a Los Angeles grand jury investigating the circumstances surrounding Rivas’s untimely death.
