Police still haven't alleged murder or determined Celeste Rivas' cause of death, a teen found dead in the trunk of a car registered to d4vd.

d4vd still hasn't spoken out pretty much at all after the dead body of teenager Celeste Rivas was found in the trunk of a Tesla registered under his name. But according to LA Magazine, sources close to the ongoing investigation – which still hasn't suggested foul play, determined cause of death, or named any suspects – claim that he still prepared himself legally for what law enforcement requires from their efforts.

Furthermore, the singer reportedly hired attorney Blair Berk, a well-known celebrity lawyer in Los Angeles who represented Harvey Weinstein in his sexual harassment and assault case. She has previously worked with Kanye West, Queen Latifah, Reese Witherspoon, Gerard Butler, and more.

Also, private investigator Steve Fischer referenced police's recent update on the d4vd investigation. They reportedly claimed that "criminal liability may not extend beyond the concealment of a body," and he thinks this looks like a cover-up of an overdose so as to not bring attention to d4vd and Celeste Rivas' alleged and confirmed connections. Still, this is all speculative and alleged, so take everything with a massive grain of salt. We will see what Berk's entry into this situation actually leads to.

Meanwhile, d4vd's manager finally addressed the Celeste Rivas investigation in a TikTok comment. "This has been a tough time for my family as I am a father of 3 children," Josh Marshall wrote on the social media platform. "I never received any emails. I had zero knowledge of anything and I don’t live in California. Also I work remotely 95% of the time and my job doesn’t require me to have much interaction with any of my clients/David as there are many others that work with him on a day to day capacity, not me. This news is tragic for so many and for her family. I hope the proper authorities get to the bottom of it soon."

Meanwhile, police recently debunked other rumors around d4vd's situation and Celeste Rivas, and folks are still trying to figure everything out. But without updates from the investigation, folks can only speculate. With that in mind, no one can make heads or tails of Blair Berk's role until more concrete and actionable information emerges.
