A body has been discovered in the boot of an impounded Tesla allegedly registered to US rapper D4vd.

According to ABC7, the Los Angeles Police Department responded to a call regarding a 'foul smell' coming from the boot of a vehicle impounded at a tow yard in Hollywood on Monday (8 September).

It's believed the vehicle had been at the property for a number of days.

When officers arrived to investigate the smell, they 'located possible human remains' which had allegedly been placed inside a bag and left in the car's front trunk.

The outlet also reported that the car is registered to the 20-year-old at an address in Hempstead, Texas.

Real name David Anthony Burke, D4vd started his music career in 2022 with singles such as 'Here with Me' and 'Romantic Homicide', becoming viral hits on social media.

His debut album, Withered, was released on 25 April, 2025, receiving positive reviews from critics.
