The mother of the teenage girl who was found dead in singer d4vd's car is speaking out after more shocking details about her death have surfaced.
According to a report TMZ published on September 17, the late teen's name is Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner confirmed the deceased girl was about 15 years old at the time of her death. Celeste's mom told the outlet that she had a feeling the dismembered body may be her daughter, especially after police released the description of the remains that were found last week.
According to the medical examiner, the body was a 5'1" female with wavy black hair. She was wearing a tube top, black leggings, and two pieces of jewelry when cops found pieces of her body in a black bag that was left inside a Tesla registered to singer d4vd, born David Anthony Burke. The car was not reported stolen, but it was towed to an impound lot in Hollywood days after it was abandoned in a Hollywood Hills neighborhood. Police have not confirmed who was driving the car before it was towed.
Celeste Rivas Hernandez went missing from Lake Elsinore, Calif., last April, and her mom said her daughter's description matched the details provided by police. The deceased girl had a tattoo on her right index finger that says, "Shhh..." D4vd also has the same phrase on his right index finger. Celeste's mother said her daughter had a boyfriend named David.
The 20-year-old artist is reportedly cooperating with the police. D4vd has spent the past month on the road as part of his "Withered World Tour" in support of his WITHERED album. He was supposed to touch the stage at Showbox SoDo in Seattle tonight before traveling to San Francisco and Los Angeles for the final shows of his U.S. leg, but not anymore. He's reportedly not performing at his scheduled tour stop in Seattle tonight.
As of this report, d4vd has remained silent about the situation.
