Details of the Discovery
On September 8th, the Los Angeles Police Department responded to reports of a foul smell coming from a vehicle in the 1000 block of N. Mansfield Avenue. The 2023 Tesla had been impounded for several days before authorities made the horrifying find shortly after noon.
This vehicle, registered under d4vd’s legal name, David Anthony Burke, had been abandoned in Hollywood Hills days before. Investigators found the body inside a bag in the car’s front trunk. The identity of the deceased remains undisclosed, and police continue to gather information regarding the incident.

“Withered Deluxe: Marcescence OUT SEPTEMBER 19TH!!!” he shared on Instagram, showcasing the album cover. He emphasized that this project reflects his raw emotion and serves as a passion project.

The discovery has led to intense scrutiny, but the Los Angeles Police Department continues to investigate its implications. As they gather more information, d4vd is still on track with his music career.
He is set to embark on the Australian leg of his world tour in December, featuring headline shows in Sydney, Brisbane, and Melbourne. This comes along with his scheduled performances at the Spilt Milk Festival.
