The medical examiner reportedly received the body in “horrendous condition,” per TMZ.
She was reportedly decapitated, and her limbs were removed and cut into pieces.
Not only that, but her body parts were “partially frozen” and had been thawing while in the trunk of the Tesla, according to the report. As originally reported, investigators were not originally sure of the sex of the body due to its condition.
Due to its state, the cause will mostly likely be ruled “undetermined,” they report.
The Robbery Homicide Division of the police department is looking into the death as a homicide despite the inability to determine a cause.
“Even if the official cause of death is undetermined, authorities can move forward with an arrest,” TMZ reports.
That Tesla had been parked for several days on a street near the rental home of the 20-year-old singer, real name David Anthony Burke. It was eventually towed, which is how her body was discovered.
Not only is D4vd now a suspect, but there is now a second suspect.
Mark Geragos appeared on the 2 Angry Men podcast over the weekend and said he knows the name of the second suspect, who may have been involved “before, during, and after” Celeste‘s death.
TMZ also reports that a critical part of the case involves “a trip investigators say D4vd took to a remote area of Santa Barbara County in the middle of the night back in the spring, where he spent two hours.”
There is a theory that if that trip was related to her passing, her body parts may have been frozen for a while before ending up in D4vd‘s Tesla.
Celeste‘s body was found in the trunk of d4vd‘s Tesla back in September, one day after her 15th birthday as he toured stateside.
He has not been charged with any crime yet, but also “has not been cooperative” in the investigation, according to a source, despite his rep previously saying that he was “fully cooperating.”
