In a heart-wrenching farewell, loved ones gathered to lay 14-year-old Celeste Rivas to rest, marking the end of a tragic chapter that has left Los Angeles reeling with unanswered questions. But here’s where it gets even more unsettling—Celeste’s decomposed body was discovered last month in the trunk of a Tesla owned by singer D4vd, abandoned near a Hollywood Hills rental home he was leasing. The car, impounded and later found in a tow yard, revealed a grim truth: Celeste had been dead for weeks, her remains unnoticed until days after the vehicle was recovered. Her family had reported her missing from their Lake Elsinore, California home in early 2024, but her fate remained a mystery until this shocking discovery.
On Monday, under the somber skies of Queen of Heaven Cemetery & Mortuary in Rowland Heights, California, friends and family carried her casket to her final resting place. A hearse arrived alongside a large tent, setting the stage for a funeral service that offered a long-awaited chance to say goodbye. And this is the part most people miss—despite the public outcry, D4vd has remained eerily silent, canceling his tour, shelving his album Withered, and reportedly vacating the Hollywood Hills home where LAPD executed a search warrant. He hasn’t been seen in public since the scandal erupted.
Adding another layer of complexity, friends in D4vd’s circle reportedly believed Celeste was 19 years old, raising questions about the nature of their relationship and the circumstances of her death. Is this a case of tragic coincidence, or is there more to the story? As the investigation continues, one thing remains clear: Celeste’s life was cut far too short, and her memory deserves justice. Rest in peace, Celeste.
