Overview
- Tow-yard workers in Hollywood reported a foul odor Monday, and officers found decomposed remains in a bag inside the Tesla’s front trunk after the car was towed days earlier from the Hollywood Hills.
- The vehicle is registered in Texas to 20-year-old singer David Anthony Burke, known as D4vd; his spokesperson says he has been informed and is cooperating while continuing tour dates.
- Officials say the decedent is a woman with wavy black hair, about 5-foot-1 to 5-foot-2, wearing a tube top and black leggings, with a “Shhh...” tattoo on her right index finger.
- The LAPD has opened a death investigation, with identification and cause of death pending due to severe decomposition as detectives coordinate with the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
- In a separate tow-yard case, authorities reported another decomposed body found in a different car, and brands Crocs and Hollister removed campaign content featuring D4vd as the probe continues.
