Several artists who had collaborations with singer D4vd have pulled their tracks as the autopsy results in the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez emerge. D4vd’s solo tracks and hits, however, remain on streaming platforms like Spotify.

Celeste Rivas Hernandez, the teen girl whose body was found in September in the trunk of a Tesla registered to singer D4vd, died of “multiple penetrating injuries” from unspecified objects, according to the medical examiner’s report. In the autopsy report released on Wednesday, Los Angeles County medical examiners said they found two “penetrating wounds to the torso” and “dismemberment of the upper and lower extremities.”

Now, major streaming services have removed some D4vd collabs, including one with Laufey (“This Is How It Feels”), Holly Humberstone (“Superbloodmoon”), and Kali Uchis (“Crashing”).

Damiano David has also replaced his collaboration with D4vd, “Tangerine,” with a solo version. Major D4vd tracks, such as “Romantic Homicide,” remain available. However, the artist has been scrubbed from the Interscope Records / UMG website.

D4vd, whose legal name is David Burke, pleaded not guilty to first-degree murder and other charges on Monday; that same day, the judge in the case ordered that the autopsy report be made public. The report was released on Wednesday.

The official cause of death was listed as “multiple penetrating injuries.” According to the report, the torso wounds may have been “sharp force injuries,” or stab wounds, but did not specify what objects may have been involved. The autopsy examination was limited by “extensive postmortem changes,” including decomposition, and the time of death was listed as unknown.

Investigators have also revealed that D4vd possessed a large amount of images and videos involving underage sexual abuse and depictions, per preliminary disclosures. Apparently there are several more terabytes of data to sift through at this stage.

On Thursday morning, a prosecutor said in court that a cell phone belonging to Burke contained “a significant amount of child pornography.” District Attorney Nathan Hochman has confirmed that investigators believed the 21-year-old Burke was involved in a sexual relationship with Rivas Hernandez when he was an adult and she was as young as 13. She was 14 when she was killed, and her body was found the day after her 15th birthday.

Celeste Rivas Hernandez disappeared in April 2025, though her parents reported her missing in 2024, and prosecutors say she went to a home that Burke had rented in the Hollywood Hills. The vehicle in which her remains were found had been abandoned in a nearby neighborhood for weeks before it was towed to an impound lot. There, employees reported a foul odor emanating from the car and alerted authorities.
