American singer, D4vd (born as David Anthony Burke), is currently on the suspect list for the unnatural death of a 15-year-old teenager, Celeste Rivas Hernandez. The underage girl had been missing for about 17 months before her remains were found in a Tesla, registered in D4vd’s name. Additionally, speculation that the 20-year-old singer was in a relationship with Celeste made the discovery of her body in his car even more suspicious. Now, as the police investigation intensifies, D4vd’s manager, Josh Marshall, has come under fire.
How was Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s body discovered?
On September 8, 2025, some workers reportedly smelled a foul odour coming from the impounded Tesla in a tow yard in Hollywood. They informed the police about the same, who went to the spot and discovered a decomposed and dismembered body in the car. On further investigation, the vehicle was found to be registered under singer, D4vd’s name and the body was confirmed to be that of Celeste Rivas Hernandez.
The deceased was reported to be missing in April 2024 from her home in Lake Elsinore, California, when she was 13 years old. Her death is being investigated as a homicide, but the cause of death is still undetermined due to the advanced state of decomposition. D4vd is one of the prime suspects in Celeste’s case; however, he has not been arrested due to a lack of concrete proof of his involvement.
Is D4vd’s manager, Josh Marshall, involved in Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s case?
The majority of netizens suspect D4vd’s connection to Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s case, based on the circumstantial evidence. Since D4vd’s manager, Josh Marshall, has been with him for about four years, he is suspected of being aware of the singer’s involvement with the teenager and her death. Netizens are infuriated due to Josh’s silence regarding the case. They took to social media to express their frustration regarding the same and raised questions, such as how it was possible for him not to be aware of what was going on in D4vd’s life when he was so closely related to him.
They wanted him to speak up for Celeste as the girl was rumoured to be linked with the singer. According to them, there were many hints that D4vd was romantically involved with Celeste, and as her manager, there was no way he didn’t know about the girl being missing for months. They want him to reveal everything he knows about her death and help her get justice. The social media comment can be read as:
“As D4vd’s manager, you know everything about his life, you literally manage it. How is it that you haven’t spoken up? This girl has been around him since she was 12 or 13 years old. Police found her over a year ago at a Hollywood Hills house with him. You knew about that. You knew she was a missing person. You knew she was underage. Now she’s dead. Why did you allow a missing child, very underage at that, to be harbored by your client in a house leased to you?”
Why was D4vd speculated to be dating Celeste Rivas Hernandez?
Celeste’s mother recently told TMZ that her daughter had a boyfriend named David before she went missing in April 2024. However, it remains unclear whether this David is indeed the singer D4vd, as many people suspect. Other hints at the singer’s link with Celeste were that they reportedly had matching ‘Shhh…’ tattoos on their index fingers. An unreleased demo by him, titled Celeste, leaked online in December 2023, adding to the intense scrutiny.
