Who is D4vd? All about the singer as LAPD finds decomposing body inside Tesla registered in his name

The Los Angeles Police Department is reportedly looking into a decomposing body that was discovered inside a Tesla registered under the singer D4vd's name.

Per ABC7, the vehicle was discovered at a tow yard in Hollywood. At the time, officers were responding to reports about a foul smell emanating from an impounded vehicle at the 1000 block of N. Mansfield Avenue just before 12:30 p.m. Monday.

D4vd, legally known as David Anthony Burke, is a 20-year-old American singer-songwriter. He is known for singles like Here With Me and Romantic Homicide, which were viral hits on TikTok. His track Feel It also debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, and it was one of five singles he debuted last year.

D4vd was reportedly expected to perform in Minneapolis today, September 9, as part of his ongoing "Withered" world tour. The tour kicked off last month and was scheduled to end at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles later this month. He is signed to Darkroom and Interscope Records.

The car, a 2023 model, had reportedly been there for a few days, ABC 7 has reported, and the body was found inside the bag. As of this writing, further details about the identity of the deceased remain unclear, though it was reportedly found in the front trunk of the car.

According to The Daily Mail, the car had Texas number plates and was abandoned in the Hollywood Hills five days ago. Surveillance footage reportedly depicts cops surrounding the car amid their investigations, with a white tent erected nearby. The car was later towed out of the impound lot.
