The autopsy on 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who was stabbed to death, is set to be revealed today as a critical hearing looms over singer D4vd—real name David Burke—accused of murder, child sexual abuse, and body mutilation. Found in a Tesla four and a half months after her death, her body showed severe decomposition, making key details like eye color unidentifiable. Prosecutors say Burke, 18 at the time, began abusing her at 13, then killed her when she threatened to expose them. DNA evidence from his garage matches hers. Burke denies all charges, challenging autopsy findings that describe wounds as “may represent sharp force injuries,” while toxicology shows only trace alcohol—likely postmortem. The Chief Medical Examiner blasted the delay in releasing results, calling it unacceptable for the family to wait months for confirmation she was murdered, not a victim of natural causes or drugs.
