The tragic story surrounding the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas continues to unfold, with officials now releasing her remains to her family.
The case has gained widespread attention not only because of its shocking details but also due to its ties to rising TikTok music star D4vd, whose car became the site of a devastating discovery earlier this month.
Family Finally Receives Celeste’s Remains
Authorities confirmed that the Los Angeles County Coroner’s office has released Celeste’s remains to her loved ones.
This comes after her body was found in a Tesla owned by D4vd, real name David Anthony Burke.
Police revealed that her remains were located in a Hollywood impound yard, discovered just one day before what would have been her 15th birthday.
Officials noted that the body had shown significant signs of decomposition, suggesting it had been inside the vehicle for a considerable period.
Troubled Past and Ongoing Investigation
Investigators also shed light on Celeste’s history, saying she had run away from her Lake Elsinore home multiple times due to family disputes.
She had been reported missing as early as May 2024.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Police Department has continued to search for answers.
Just last week, they raided D4vd’s Hollywood Hills home, reportedly seizing multiple bags of evidence along with a computer.
As of now, the musician has not been charged with any crime.
Images and Streams Linking the Two
Photos and online footage have only deepened public intrigue in the case.
One image that surfaced shows Celeste sitting closely with D4vd in what appears to be a restaurant booth, looking at him affectionately.
Another resurfaced stream from January 2024 shows Celeste encouraging the artist to respond to fan questions during a live session.
These discoveries have fueled speculation about the nature of their relationship and what might have led up to her tragic end.
Social Media Adds Fuel to the Fire
The internet quickly latched onto D4vd’s past content.
In one reposted TikTok, the artist shared a clip of a man chopping up lunch meat, captioned as advice for dealing with a love interest who might be unfaithful.
Many users drew chilling parallels between the video and the grim reality of Celeste’s death.
Comments flooded the post, with one viewer writing, “This makes me utterly sick knowing she was found dismembered.
Poor girl, justice for Celeste.” Another user darkly joked, “Smile guys we’re gonna be in a documentary.”
TikTok Creator Distances Himself
The creator of the original chopping video, Brayan, came forward to clarify that his post had nothing to do with D4vd or the ongoing case.
He explained it was simply part of a “cucumber trend” on the platform, adding: “I have no idea who bro was until today.”
Lyrics That Raise Eyebrows
Adding more fuel to speculation, fans have unearthed some of D4vd’s older music.
His 2022 breakout single Romantic Homicide featured a female character that some argue resembled Celeste.
Even more striking, a December 2023 unreleased track titled Celeste_Demo unfin contained lyrics describing a girl with personal details eerily connected to Rivas.
The words referenced a girl named Celeste, her physical traits, and even hinted at a romantic bond.
While it is not confirmed that the song was about Rivas, the coincidence has stirred widespread discussion online.
What Happens Next
For now, the LAPD’s investigation continues. Detectives are combing through evidence, online content, and witness testimonies in hopes of piecing together the truth behind Celeste’s untimely and tragic death.
Meanwhile, D4vd remains under scrutiny, though no formal charges have been filed.
