Family of Celeste Rivas responds as ME reveals cause of death in D4vd murder case

The family of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas, allegedly murdered and dismembered by singer D4vd (David Burke), issued an emotional statement after the Los Angeles Medical Examiner confirmed the cause of death as multiple penetrating injuries. Burke faces first-degree murder with special circumstances (murder of a witness, murder for financial gain, lying in wait) plus lewd acts with a minor and mutilating a body; the body was found in the trunk of an abandoned Tesla linked to him. Rivas had been a witness in an ongoing sexual-abuse probe. Burke pled not guilty at arraignment, and her parents said they would not attend the hearing, as the case draws ongoing public and community interest.
