The Body of the Girl Found in d4vd’s Trunk, Celeste Rivas, Has Been Released Back to Her Family

The body of Celeste Rivas, the 15-year-old girl discovered dead in singer d4vd’s Tesla trunk, has been released to her family for memorial services.

The Los Angeles County Coroner confirmed that her body was released to her relatives on Tuesday, Sept. 23, according to TMZ.

The news comes shortly after Rivas’ family spoke out about her death on Sept. 18. “As many of you know, Celeste Rivas Hernandez has been identified as the body found last week,” GoFundMe organizers Esmeralda Lozano and Gisel Vera wrote on the fundraising page. “She was a beloved daughter, sister, cousin, and friend.”

The statement continued, “Her family is heartbroken and devastated by this tragic loss. They are seeking help to lay her body to rest. Any funds you are able to donate are greatly appreciated.”

According to the fundraiser, a funeral for Rivas is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 4.

PEOPLE has reached out to GoFundMe to confirm the validity of the fundraiser. Rivas was initially reported missing in 2024, and her body was discovered in the back of a Tesla vehicle registered to d4vd, 20, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, on Sept. 8.

On Sept. 17, detectives from Robbery-Homicide Division of the Los Angeles Police Department served a search warrant on the 1300 block of Doheny Place in LA in connection with Rivas’ death — a home reportedly associated with d4vd.

Law enforcement sources previously told local KABC-TV and the Los Angeles Times that the Hollywood Hills address is where the singer was staying.

“Several items of evidence were recovered and will be analyzed by detectives in the coming days. This is an ongoing investigation. Investigators are following up on several leads,” a representative for the LAPD told PEOPLE.
