Celeste Rivas, the 15-year-old girl whose decomposed and chopped-up body was found in a Tesla owned by singer D4vd, was laid to rest at the Queen of Heaven Cemetery & Mortuary in Rowland Heights, California, on Monday.
Per TMZ, Rivas’ family and friends gathered at the event to say their final goodbyes to the deceased teen. Photos of the funeral include a hearse that conveyed Rivas’ body and a group of people carrying her casket. Another photo shows an erected white tent.
Rivas’ body was found in the front trunk of D4vd’s car on September 8 after her family reported her missing in 2024. An investigation into the case has since been launched. Her mother also reportedly said that Rivas was dating an individual named David.

The singer was on tour at the time that his Tesla was initially found in Hollywood Hills. It was then towed to an impound lot in Hollywood, where a bag containing the victim’s body parts was found inside the vehicle’s trunk. Authorities, however, did not receive any report regarding the Tesla being stolen, TMZ reported. Police have also not disclosed the identity of the individual behind the wheel of the Tesla before the authorities later gained access to the vehicle after it was found abandoned.
D4vd ultimately canceled his tour after sources informed the entertainment news outlet that the police had notified him about what was found in his car. They also said he is cooperating with authorities.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner, in an initial online report after her body was found, stated that Rivas’ height was about 5-foot-1, while her weight was 71 pounds, TMZ reported. The deceased girl’s hair was also described as wavy black. The report further stated that she has a tattoo on her right index finger with the words, “Shhh…” D4vd is said to have the same tattoo on his right index finger.
D4vd is best known for his hit songs including Here with Me and Romantic Homicide. The 20-year-old singer’s debut album, Withered, was released in April.
