Why is no-one talking about the d4vd situation?

Every update I see makes me feel physically sick.

Even if he’s innocent there’s no coming back from this.

They are also a bit reticent when the suspect is a black male.

Not these days. If it were a Black male and a white girl, ooooh boy,
It is misogynoir at play in this case.

Apparently D4vd has ‘cancelled’ the European leg of his tour. I think he was told to not leave the country before he cancelled the tour dates.

He wasnt in America when the body was found was he?

I’m saying specially on here. A celebrity dies and within 30 seconds there’s a “Mr X has died” thread. I just assumed this case would be being talked about.

Show quote history

But most people have no clue who he is! He's not exactly well known. On the other hand Robert Redford dying, well everyone knows who is!

Livelovebehappy · 21/09/2025 21:47

Not heard of this, but he’s not been very good at covering it up if he left his car there, presumably for days, with a decomposing body in it. Sounds bizarre as if leaving it to be found.

Not under Trump, quite the reverse.

There is no allegedly about it. Celeste Rivas Hernandez was found dismembered and in an advanced state of decomposition in his Tesla that had been found abandoned in the Hollywood hills. He has a house in the Hollywood hills. LA PD got a search warrant for it a few days ago.

One of his songs is Romantic Homicide. Which he did not write, but he may have been inspired to act it out.

Apparently he also had a song leak called celeste from 2023...

“Police confirmed to Us Weekly that officers responded to the 1000 block of Mansfield Avenue in Hollywood on September 8, 2025, “for a foul odor coming from a vehicle at a tow yard.”
Detectives responded and located possible human remains inside a Tesla. Multiple outlets reported that the car was registered in Hempstead, Texas, to David Anthony Burke, also known as D4vd.

He would have been in Wisconsin or Minnesota,
His most recent concert was supposed to be yesterday in Los Angeles

No other concerts until his Europe leg which was supposed to start on 1 Oct, in Oslo Norway.

Why are people acting like a crusty old High Court judge without access to a (checks notes) 'search engine'?

Actually I'd say it's incumbent on the person who starts the thread not to talk in shorthand or riddles leading to people having to use a search engine to work out what the hell they mean.

or else they can go meh, cba, and go to different thread where the OP makes the effort and wants a sensible conversation,

I quite agree. If I wanted to start a thread about John Stapleton dying, which is all over the news unlike this event, then I would say something about who he was or what shows he used to present.

I think he's not that widely known as a singer or there would be more publicity. It seems pretty clear that he knew the victim so the fact she was found in his car leaves him looking very suspicious.

He has 37 million monthly listeners on Spotify, was doing a tour of the US, Europe and Australia, was on ad campaigns for Crocs and Hollister (now removed), I could go on … I’m not saying he’s Taylor Swift but saying he’s not that widely known is an absolute reach,

Shitmonger · 21/09/2025 22:09

I live in the States so I’ve been seeing it all over the news. It sounds like he’s been involved with her since she was 11 and her mother didn’t give much of a damn about her whereabouts. Absolutely tragic.

Well it got towed by the police (I think) so maybe the plan wasn’t to abandon the car but I guess most people wouldn’t have the guts to collect a car with a dismembered body in the boot from the police.

Yes it's odd. He's either exceptionally thick or he didn't do it.

Well I've never heard of him, and judging by a fair number of other posts I am not alone in that. He's hardly a celebrity worthy of major news status anywhere other than his home country, where he is presumably more well known.

Not widely known amongst the general public I don’t think.

powershowerforanhour · 21/09/2025 22:32

Never heard of him, probably because I'm old (and now have "Who's David? Some guy who lives next door..." playing in my head).
Sounds like a horrible situation poor girl.

BloodandGlitter · 21/09/2025 22:33

She was 14 she was killed before she had chance to turn 15. Her body was so badly decomposed they don't know if she was dismembered or not.

"allegedly" D4vid had been seeing her since she was 11 and had been bribing her mother and friends to keep their mouths shut.

But the car was abandoned over a month ago. Why would you leave a decomposed dismembered body in your own car and then abandon it somewhere it was going to be found

It’s usual to give some clue as to what your post is about, rather than assume readers want to bother their arse googling it.

tinybeautiful · 21/09/2025 22:37

I'm following this a bit. Very bizarre situation and poor girl who seems like had nobody looking out for her at all.

SpackelFrog · 21/09/2025 22:38

I had never heard of him, until I read about a dead child being found in his car boot. A child who went missing 18 months ago but had been posted with him on his social media.

FuzzyWolf · 21/09/2025 22:40

I’d never heard of him until I clicked on an article about a body being found in his car. As I understand it, her death is considered to be very recent as the last report I read suggested the first week or so of September. However, reading above that his car had been abandoned for a month suggests that’s unlikely.

Regardless, that poor child. So young and likely abused and then murdered.
