Singer D4vd has enlisted a prominent criminal defense lawyer amid the ongoing investigation into the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas. Celeste’s body was discovered in the front trunk of a Tesla owned by D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, on September 8, coinciding with Celeste’s 15th birthday. LAPD conducted a search on the vehicle following reports of a foul smell emanating from it.
It is reported that D4vd has retained the services of Blair Berk to represent him during the investigation. Berk, known for representing various celebrities like Kanye West, Lindsay Lohan, Britney Spears, and Reese Witherspoon, has been chosen by D4vd for legal counsel. The Mirror US has reached out to both Berk and D4vd’s representatives for comments.
The cause of Celeste’s death has been labeled as “deferred” by officials, citing a potential delay of several months in determining the circumstances leading to her demise inside the Tesla. The Los Angeles County Department of Medical Examiner cited the ongoing investigation as the reason for withholding detailed information on the tests and studies being conducted.
Authorities suspect that Celeste had been deceased for a number of weeks before her body was found. LAPD officials disclosed that there are still unanswered questions surrounding Celeste’s death, emphasizing that she was found in the trunk of David Burke’s Tesla. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner is yet to ascertain the exact cause of Celeste’s death, leaving uncertainty regarding potential criminal liability beyond the act of concealing her body.
