Court Reveals Texts and Autopsy Details in D4vd Murder Case of Teen Celeste Rivas Hernandez

Court Reveals Texts and Autopsy Details in D4vd Murder Case of Teen Celeste Rivas HernandezPreviousNext

In the preliminary hearing for singer David Burke, known as D4vd, prosecutors presented text messages revealing that 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez became pregnant at 13 and had an abortion over a year before her death. Burke faces charges including murder, sexual abuse of a child, and mutilation of a body, which he denies. The autopsy confirmed her death resulted from two sharp force wounds, but the exact time of death remains undetermined due to body degradation. The judge will decide if the case proceeds to trial.
