D4vd Uses Celeste’s Voice In New Songs Months Before Her Body Is Found? + New Updates From Police

Occam’s Razor is commonly misquoted as simply “the simplest answer is usually the correct one,” but in philosophy, it’s more precise: when two hypotheses explain the data equally well, the one with fewer assumptions should be selected. This distinction becomes critical in the case of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, whose decomposing body was found in the trunk of singer D4VD’s (David’s) Tesla. The internet has been gripped by the case, yet much of what’s circulating is built on speculation and assumptions. While the circumstantial evidence doesn’t look good for David, it’s far from simple. There’s no confirmed relationship between David and Celeste. Multiple sources claim they were involved, and rumors suggest they had known each other since she was 11—another assumption. Some believe there was another adult woman named Celeste in David’s life, whom he may have used as a decoy due to the girls’ similar appearances and matching outfits, possibly to conceal an inappropriate relationship.

The Tesla, abandoned near a $20,000/month rental home linked to David’s manager, was reportedly parked on the street for three weeks before being towed. Employees at the tow yard later contacted the police due to a foul smell emanating from the trunk, leading to the grisly discovery of a body. Conflicting reports cloud the exact condition of the body—some say it was dismembered, others only mention a torso and head. Officially, the cause of death has been deferred, and LAPD has not confirmed this as a homicide investigation, only a “death investigation” handled by the Robbery and Homicide Division.

David, on tour at the time, released a brief statement through a spokesperson saying he was cooperating with authorities. After the body was confirmed on September 17, 2025, to be Celeste—who went missing sometime after July—David ceased touring. Interestingly, her body was found the day after her 15th birthday, but it’s likely she died while still 14. Confusion remains even around her age, due to lack of verified information about her last known sightings. Official reports haven’t confirmed a time of death. Visual evidence from July 2024 is the last confirmed sighting.

David’s rental home was searched by LAPD shortly after the body was identified. Authorities removed electronics and evidence bags, but David has not been arrested or named a suspect as of now. His team has since moved out of the property. Celeste’s family has remained largely silent, contributing to the speculation. Online detectives and netizens have pointed out various clues, like matching tattoos (the word “shh” on the finger), bracelet accessories, Hello Kitty merchandise, and even Discord screenshots, where David is allegedly seen with a girl resembling Celeste, sometimes with her face hidden. Theories have emerged—from a Hollywood “sacrifice” to an accidental death, a grooming cover-up, or a larger conspiracy involving others.

Despite a flood of online rumors, almost everything remains speculative: alleged sightings, messages, images, and Discord chats. The only confirmed facts are that Celeste’s body was found in David’s Tesla, which had not been reported stolen, and that she died under mysterious circumstances. While photos and media claiming to show the two together have gone viral, many have been debunked or remain inconclusive. David’s digital footprint is extensive, and Celeste, in contrast, had very little public presence. Her face is covered in most images, making identification difficult.

With official statements scarce, and media outlets sometimes contradicting each other, the internet is left with a tangled web of speculation, assumptions, and circumstantial evidence. What’s clear is that the case is complex and evolving. There are no arrests, no confirmed charges, and no clear narrative yet—only the tragic reality that a young girl is dead, and many unanswered questions remain.
