Authorities have identified the dead body found in the front trunk of an impounded Tesla at a Hollywood tow yard that is registered to singer D4vd.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner identified the body as a 15-year-old female, but they haven’t released her name. She’s described as being 5’2″ and 71 pounds with dark wavy hair, wearing a tube top, and having a distinctive tattoo on her right index finger.
Last week, TMZ reported the car is registered to singer D4vd. Police told the outlet that the Tesla is registered to David Anthony Burke, the popular singer’s real name, from Hempstead, Texas.
The singer is currently on tour. According to his online tour schedule, he has a show on September 16 in Seattle and is set to perform in L.A. on September 20. He’s known for hits such as “Romantic Homicide” and “Here With Me.”
On Sept. 8, human remains were found in the trunk of an impounded Tesla located at Hollywood Tow on Mansfield Avenue near La Brea.
Police told KTLA 5 that officers responded to the 1000 block of Mansfield Avenue at around 12:20 p.m. for a “foul odor coming from a vehicle at a tow yard.”
“Detectives responded and located possible human remains,” Officer Drake Madison said at the time. “It is currently a death investigation. We do not have information on the owner of the vehicle.”
LAPD said the vehicle was towed from the Hollywood Hills, near Doheny Drive and Bluebird Canyon Drive, after it was reported abandoned nearly a week before the body was discovered.
According to residents, it may have been there for some time. A resident said the vehicle was damaged and dusty.
KTLA 5 has reached out to D4vd’s team for a statement on this and is awaiting a response.
