The tragic death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas has dominated news headlines for over a week. Shocking revelations have linked her to rising singer David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd. According to the Los Angeles Times, Celeste’s severely decomposed body was found earlier this month in the trunk of a car registered to the artist while he was on tour. Since then, social media has been flooded with claims, theories, and speculation about the case.
One of the most viral rumors suggests that additional remains, possibly of an infant, were found near D4vd’s Hollywood Hills home. Some posts claim Celeste was pregnant at the time of her death and say the alleged discovery “confirms” this. These claims have circulated widely on X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, sparking heated discussion. However, no law enforcement agency has verified any of this, and there is no official information to support the rumors. For now, it remains unconfirmed online chatter.
The speculation grew after old Discord chat screenshots surfaced, allegedly showing D4vd mentioning a “kid on the way” while tagging a “deleted user.” Some social media users linked this to Celeste. The authenticity of these screenshots is unclear, and police have not confirmed any such detail, leaving the situation uncertain.
Adding to the discussion is D4vd’s popular song, Romantic Homicide, which became a TikTok hit in 2022. Some fans have dissected its lyrics, noting lines about heartbreak, death, and emotional turmoil, drawing eerie comparisons to Celeste’s death. Critics, however, caution against linking artistic work directly to real-life crimes, though the song has continued to fuel online debate.
A key unanswered question is whether Celeste and D4vd actually knew each other. TMZ reported that Celeste’s mother told police her daughter had mentioned having a boyfriend named “David” before she went missing at 13. Photos and videos allegedly show Celeste at D4vd’s residence, raising questions about their relationship. Both Celeste and D4vd also share a “Shh…” tattoo on their index fingers, though it is a popular design among celebrities. Police have not confirmed any direct connection beyond these observations, so much of the discussion remains speculative.
