American singer and songwriter D4vd is currently on tour in support of his latest album, Withered, but now, people are saying that a body was found in a car registered in his name.

The news has been going viral across social media over the last 24 hours, inspiring not only theories about how a body ended up in his Tesla while on tour, but memes about the body.

So, is the news about the decomposing body in D4vd's vehicle true, and how are people reacting to the news? Here's what you need to know.

Was A Body Found In 'D4vd's Car Trunk?

The news of a body being found in the trunk of a car registered to D4vd was first reported on by ABC7 on September 9th, 2025.

According to the report, the car, a Tesla, was impounded when the body was found. Someone at the car lot noticed a foul smell coming from the front trunk, or "frunk." They opened it up to find decomposing human remains.

It has since been reported that the body belonged to 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez, who had been missing since April 2024.

At the time this was published, D4vd was on tour, adding another strange layer to the story. At this time, there are no reports or accusations claiming that D4vd was responsible for putting the body in his frunk, and the singer has not responded to the news.

This has led many to assume that D4vd is not directly involved in the incident, as theories and discourse about the news continue to spread online.

How Is The Body In D4vd's Trunk Used In Memes?

Since the news broke yesterday, many have turned the allegations of the body in D4vd's car into a meme.

Many of these people do not seem to believe that D4vd is involved in the incident, largely because he is still on tour even though the news has been made public, as well as the car being in an impound lot at the time. Some are theorizing that his car was stolen and used for the crime.

Some viral memes about the incident involve people changing the lyrics to D4vd's songs to reference the body, memes spinning his recent tweets into jokes about the car and memes about D4vd being innocent.

TikTokers are reacting to the news and giving their opinions, with one user, @zavvyr, even making a parody song about the incident.
