The autopsy of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, found dead in a car in September, confirms her death was a homicide — with penetrating wounds to her upper body, including her liver and ribs. Prosecutors allege her killer, musician D4vd (David Burke), began a sexual relationship with her at age 13, then murdered her when she threatened to expose them — risking his rising fame. DNA evidence from blood stains in Burke’s garage matches Celeste’s. Burke denies all charges, challenging the forensic findings, especially ambiguous autopsy language suggesting wounds “may represent sharp force injuries.” Toxicology showed minimal alcohol, likely postmortem bacteria. Her tube top was cut in three places. The LA County Chief Medical Examiner criticized the delay in releasing the report to the family, stressing the need for swift answers to confirm this was a violent, not natural, death.
