The autopsy of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, conducted by Dr. Grant Ho, revealed her death was a homicide due to penetrating wounds, with her dismembered body found months later in a Tesla. Singer D4vd, legally David Burke, is accused of her murder, allegedly after she threatened to expose their sexual relationship. Prosecutors claim Burke dismembered her body in his garage, with DNA evidence supporting this. Burke denies the charges. The autopsy report, hindered by decomposition, noted possible sharp force injuries and a low alcohol level in her liver, likely postmortem. LA County’s Chief Medical Examiner criticized the delay in releasing the autopsy results, emphasizing the importance of transparency. D4vd, known for dark-themed music, faces serious allegations that could impact his career and following.
