Los Angeles authorities are investigating the discovery of a decomposing body found inside a Tesla impounded at a Los Angeles tow yard. The vehicle is registered to David Anthony Burke, the 20-year-old Houston singer known professionally as D4vd. The grim discovery was made Monday morning following reports of a foul odor emanating from the car.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to the scene and confirmed the presence of the body. The identity of the deceased has yet to be released, pending further investigation and identification procedures. The condition of the remains is described as advanced decomposition, complicating the process.
D4vd, whose viral hits "Here with Me" and "Romantic Homicide" have garnered over 1.5 billion streams each, was scheduled to perform in Minneapolis on Tuesday as part of his world tour. The status of this performance, and potentially other upcoming tour dates, remains uncertain in light of this developing situation. Representatives for D4vd have yet to issue a public statement.
The investigation is ongoing, and authorities are working to determine the circumstances surrounding the death. Further details are expected to be released as they become available. The case is currently being treated as suspicious, and a full autopsy will be conducted to determine the cause of death.
