HOLLYWOOD, LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Los Angeles Police Department is investigating the gruesome discovery of a body inside an impounded Tesla at a tow yard in Hollywood, and Eyewitness News has learned the vehicle is registered to singer D4vd.
Officers responded to the 1000 block of N. Mansfield Avenue shortly before 12:30 p.m. Monday to a report of a foul odor coming from an impounded vehicle, according to LAPD.
Police say the impounded car had been at the property for a couple of days, and that the body had been placed inside a bag. There's no immediate information about the identity of the person found inside the Tesla.
D4vd is scheduled to perform in Minneapolis on Tuesday as part of his "Withered" world tour that began last month. The tour stops in Los Angeles on Sept. 20.
Authorities say the human remains were found in the front trunk of the Tesla.
Eyewitness News has learned that the 2023 Tesla is registered in Hempstead, Texas to D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke.
Video from AIR7 showed police yellow tape encircling the Tesla, along with several parked vehicles, in the impound lot with a white canopy set up nearby.
Eyewitness News has reached out to D4vd's representatives and are still waiting for a response. The 20-year-old musician is known for the songs "Here with Me" and "Romantic Homicide." He released his debut album earlier this year.

The stench of death will never come out. Perhaps this is the origin of why some places are considered haunted.
Sounds suspicious.
So is the concert still on or has anybody spoken to the owner who doesn't know how to spell his own name?
D4vd
How do you even pronounce that gutter slang?
Just a publicity stunt for ‘street cred’ for the upcoming concert.
*SMIRK* ;)
D4vd - Duh For Vee Dee - as in “da man wif da four venereal diseases”.
Well, it couldn’t have been a short person found in the trunk, because they found a body. ;)
Who?
“Sounds suspicious.”
Yes it does. Seems a little strange that a holding lot would store a vehicle on its lot, especially one of this amount of cost, without going through the inventory of what’s in the car before they took control or as soon as they got it on the lot. The article said it had been there for days. There are a number of things they would have to report to the police if discovered and it could even have stored explosives. Doesn’t sound right.

First mistake.... adopting a stupid moniker of gibberish.
Go through a private citizen’s car, without a warrant?
You surely don’t mean that.
Impound lots don’t have any authority to search cars, a casual inspection and listing of visible items is all they’re allowed by law.
So a dead body sat in the police impound lot for a couple days before they found it? You can't make this stuff up.

I guess it depends on the reasons it was impounded. The article doesn’t say.
