Los Angeles authorities have confirmed that the decomposed body discovered in the trunk of a vehicle registered to singer D4vd has been identified. The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner’s office told TMZ that while the identity of the deceased is now known, the name cannot be publicly released until the next of kin has been notified.
Law enforcement sources had previously indicated they were still working to confirm the victim’s identity. That confirmation appears to have taken place within the last 24 hours. Until formal notifications are made, officials are refraining from sharing further personal details of the deceased.
The grim discovery was made after D4vd’s Tesla was towed and impounded in Hollywood. The car, which had been abandoned in the Hollywood Hills, was searched by authorities who then uncovered human remains inside the trunk.
Details of the Victim’s Description
According to police reports, the victim is described as a female, approximately 5 feet 1 inch tall and weighing 71 pounds. She had wavy black hair and a distinctive tattoo on her right index finger reading “Shhh…”
At the time of discovery, the victim was wearing a tube top and black leggings. Authorities also noted two pieces of jewelry: a metal stud earring and a chain bracelet shaped like the letter “W.” These details were initially released in the hope of accelerating the identification process.
Investigators have been working intensively since the discovery to establish both the victim’s identity and the circumstances surrounding her death. With identification now complete, attention will shift toward notifying family members and continuing the inquiry into how the body came to be inside the abandoned vehicle.
Los Angeles: Ongoing Investigation and Next Steps
The Los Angeles Police Department has not yet disclosed whether there are any suspects or persons of interest connected to the case. It remains unclear how long the vehicle was abandoned before being towed to the impound lot. Officials have also not confirmed any direct connection between D4vd and the deceased beyond the fact that the car was registered to him.
The case has generated widespread public attention due to the high-profile nature of the vehicle’s owner and the unsettling details of the discovery. Authorities are expected to release more information once the victim’s family has been informed.
Until then, the investigation continues to focus on piecing together the events leading up to the discovery and determining whether foul play is involved. Law enforcement officials are urging the public to await verified updates as they work to bring clarity to the case.
