Medical Examiner Links Celeste's Death to Homicide; D4vd Charged

The Los Angeles County medical examiner ruled Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s death a homicide caused by multiple penetrating injuries; her severely decomposed remains were found in the front trunk of a Tesla linked to singer D4vd, who is charged with murder, continuous sexual abuse of a minor, and unlawful mutilation of human remains. The report’s release followed police objections amid a high-profile investigation; if convicted, D4vd faces life without parole or the death penalty. Celeste was 13–14 years old at the time, and the case has attracted intense public attention.
