THE decomposing body of a teenage girl found dead in the singer D4vd’s Tesla has been returned to her family.
Celeste Rivas, who was missing for more than a year, was found dismembered in the trunk of the car which was sitting in a Hollywood tow yard earlier this month.

An investigation into her death is underway, but no one has been charged.
And, D4vd has remained silent throughout the investigation, with only one statement issued through his team, saying he was cooperating with the probe.
An autopsy on Rivas’ body has been conducted, and her body has now been released to her family, per TMZ.
Rivas’ cause of death still remains deferred.
It could be months until her cause of death is released, as reported by the CW affiliate KTLA-TV.
A case could be deferred because additional tests may need to be carried out.
Los Angeles medical examiners have been tight-lipped about the precise nature of their investigation.
It’s not known how long Rivas’ body was in the car before it was discovered.
The car had been sitting in the Hollywood tow yard for five days before the remains were found.
Tow yard workers had detected a foul smell coming from the car.
The body had been attracting flies before it was discovered.
During the police probe, a series of chilling details that appear to connect D4vd to Rivas have emerged.
The pair had matching tattoos on their right index fingers.
Sources close to Rivas’ family told The U.S. Sun the teen had been in a relationship with the music star.
Their supposed relationship dates back to when she was 13.
D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, appeared to boast about someone called Celeste in one of his leaked tracks.
“Oh, Celeste, the girl with my name tattooed on her chest, smell her on my clothes like cigarettes,” he sung.
D4vd burst onto the music scene with his track Romantic Homicide and some of his music videos contain eerie elements.
The video for his track One More Dance features a body being put inside a trunk.
And, D4vd, who portrays both the killer and victim in the video, is wearing blood-stained clothes at the start of the clip.
Cops have been searching for blood evidence at the Los Angeles home he was renting.
Officers were seen carrying what appeared to be a computer screen after executing a search warrant.
D4vd forked out $20,000-a-month to live at the property, but the lease has since been terminated.
Mladen Trifunovic, the property owner, told The Mail he expects D4vd to move out of the home this week.
D4vd has also been removed from Crocs and Hollister campaigns in light of the probe.
The star was on his US tour when the body was found. Concerts in the US and gigs scheduled to take place across Europe have been canceled.
