Discovery of Decomposed Remains in Tesla
On September 8, 2025, the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) discovered a severely decomposed female body in the front trunk of a Tesla registered to pop artist David Anthony Burke, known professionally as D4vd. The vehicle was located at a tow yard on North Mansfield Avenue after police responded to reports of a foul odor emanating from the car. The Tesla had been towed from the Hollywood Hills, where it was abandoned for nearly a month. The LAPD confirmed that the body was found wrapped in a bag, and the medical examiner indicated that the victim had been deceased for an extended period before the discovery.
The victim was described as approximately 5 feet 2 inches tall, weighing around 71 pounds, with wavy black hair and a tattoo on her right index finger that read “Shhh….” The medical examiner's report noted the body was in a state of severe decomposition, making identification challenging.
Second Body Found in Separate Incident
A day after the discovery in the Tesla, another body was found in a Honda Civic at a different tow yard in South Los Angeles. This second incident is not believed to be connected to the first. The Honda's trunk was reported to be scorched, and authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding this death as well. Family members had previously filed a missing persons report related to the woman found in the Honda.
D4vd's Response and Ongoing Investigation
D4vd, currently on his Withered World Tour, has been informed of the investigation and is reportedly cooperating with authorities. A spokesperson for the artist stated that he is fully engaged in assisting the police while continuing his tour schedule, which includes upcoming performances in Los Angeles and several European cities.
Despite the ongoing investigation, D4vd performed in Minneapolis shortly after the body was discovered, maintaining his public engagements. However, the situation has led to commercial repercussions; brands like Hollister and Crocs have removed campaign content featuring D4vd from their platforms, citing respect for the ongoing investigation.
Official Statements and Responses
In a statement, D4vd's representatives confirmed his cooperation with the LAPD, emphasizing that he is not a suspect in the investigation. The LAPD has not identified any suspects or established a direct link between D4vd and the deceased.
Criticism and Opposition
While D4vd has not publicly commented on the incident, the discovery of the bodies has raised concerns among fans and the public regarding the safety and circumstances surrounding the artist's vehicles. Critics have questioned the implications of such incidents on D4vd's rising career and public image.
Conflicting Reports & Gaps
As the investigation unfolds, details regarding the identities of the deceased and the circumstances of their deaths remain unclear. The LAPD has not disclosed whether there is any connection between D4vd and the victims, leaving many questions unanswered as the inquiry continues.
