Singer’s Tesla found in LA impound lot with plastic-wrapped body inside

NYP

A putrid, dismembered body has been found dumped in a Tesla reportedly registered to popular New York-born singer D4vd — several days after it was abandoned and taken to a Los Angeles tow yard.

Police made the grim discovery at the impound lot in Hollywood on Monday afternoon after workers reported a foul odor coming from the electric vehicle.

The 2023 Tesla is registered to David Anthony Burke, the 20-year-old Queens-born “Romantic Homicide” artist known as D4vd, ABC7 reported.


The artist’s representatives assured that Burke is “cooperating with authorities,” even though “he is still out on tour,” according to a statement obtained by NBC News Los Angeles.

The identity of the victim wasn’t immediately known. more

  1. That reminds me of a story that I heard years ago on Paul Harvey. Evidently a woman in Walla Walla, Wash. was selling an almost new Corvette for less than a $1000 dollars and she had no takers because her husband had died inside the car and was not discovered for a while and laid inside the car and rotted away until his bloated maggot infested corpse was finally found. The car stunk so bad that there was nothing that they could do about it that they had to destroy it. I miss Paul Harvey’s stories; they were the best.

  2. I used to work at a large car auction. Part of its business was to sell cars that had been written off by insurance companies. (A car I had been T-boned in was there which was nice because when we cleared the car out, we had forgotten the garage door opener). One car that came to us was a car of someone who was driving along and was the victim of a gang hit. One of the yard guys showed me the car and opened it up.

    Oh, did it reek.

  3. You know deep in your mind that this singer is somehow involved with this dead body, if not responsible for it as a whole. Interesting that he was “on tour” and this car was reported abandoned by people around the same time he leaves town and goes on tour. Coincidence, I think not.

  4. …worst career choice I ever heard of was a job where you pick bugs out of bloated corpses, rotted corpses, gelatinous corpses, liquefying corpses and then look at the bug. Bugs tend to be specific to certain areas and grow along documented stages so its very valuable for determining where and when a person ACTUALLY died, not where and when they were found.

    Useful, but nasty.

    Im glad someone ELSE does it, just not ME, is all Im saying…

    Heard the same story from a friend that worked at a foreign car parts store in the 80’s. They bought a 450 SEL 6.9 from an old man’s estate who had died in the car. They stripped out the interior down to the bare metal and replaced it. It still stunk.
