Los Angeles police said the only crime in d4vd and Celeste Rivas’ case – still without suspects – may be the concealment of her body.
The investigation into the dead body of teenager Celeste Rivas, which authorities found in the trunk of a Tesla registered to d4vd, has resulted in a whole lot of social media speculation about their alleged relationship and other factors. Nevertheless, the official investigation into her death is going in a slightly different direction for now.
According to KTLA, the Los Angeles Police Department recently issued a statement to the outlet on Thursday (November 6) updating them on their status. They stood by their September 29 news release, included here: “The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not yet determined the cause or manner of Ms. Rivas Hernandez’s death. As such, it remains unclear whether there is any criminal culpability beyond the concealment of her body. RHD is thoroughly examining every aspect of this case to uncover the truth and seek justice for Celeste Rivas Hernandez and her family.”
Amid this ongoing investigation, the LAPD reportedly told KTLA that the only crime they have been able to identify is the concealment of Rivas’ body. They have not concluded any foul play in her death and haven’t named d4vd or anyone else as a suspect. Per KTLA’s legal analyst Alison Triessl, concealing an accidental death is a misdemeanor in California that constitutes a maximum of one year in county jail and a $10,000 fine at most.
