Details of how Celeste died and who was under investigation remained hidden as authorities convened a grand jury and shielded investigative findings from the public. Celeste was reported missing in 2024 Family and friends of Celeset had reported her missing at the beginning of 2024. She and d4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, appeared together in a Twitch livestream that January, and between then and March 2024, he was photographed getting out of a black Tesla near the seventh grader’s home. Celeste was also photographed backstage at one of his Los Angeles shows in June 2024. She was last seen alive going to d4vd’s home in April 2025. D4vd pleads not guilty The singer was arrested only last week, months after Celeste’s dismembered body was found in his car. The singer pleaded not guilty on Monday to charges of first-degree murder with special circumstances, continuous sexual abuse of a child under 14 years old and mutilating human remains.

It is still unclear exactly when Celeste died; however, the report’s release comes months after the autopsy that ruled her death a homicide last December was ordered sealed at the request of law enforcement. What does the autopsy reveal? According to the report, Celeste’s remains were in a zippered body bag and she had two wounds that “may represent sharp force injuries” – one to her chest and another to her abdomen, according to the Los Angeles County medical examiner’s office. Additional skin abrasions are noted, though the medical examiner could not determine the causes because of the severe decomposition of the body.

Two fingers had also been removed from her left hand. A tattoo reading “Shhh….” was documented on the inside of her right index finger, according to the medical examiner’s report, similar to the tattoo d4vd has on his finger. Alcohol was also detected in her system, though the medical examiner notes it’s unclear whether it’s present because of ingestion or decomposition. “After several months, I am grateful this information can now be released, not only to the public, but also to the grieving family enduring loss,” Chief Medical Examiner-Coroner Dr. Odey Ukpo said in a statement. “It is unfathomable that they have had to wait this long to learn what happened to their daughter.”
