A series of new and unsettling details have surfaced in the ongoing investigation surrounding the death of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas; and it’s raising a lot of questions.
According to the New York Post, a private investigator hired by the owner of a Los Angeles home previously rented by artist D4vd says a burn cage incinerator was discovered at the property.
Private investigator Steve Fischer shared the information on Twitter (X) on Tuesday, December 16, saying his comments had been taken out of context but confirming the item’s presence.
“What I actually said was that some of the items found at the Doheny address were things you’d expect to see on a farm — not in a home in the Hollywood Hills,” Fischer explained. “One of those items was a burn cage incinerator advertised to burn at 1,600 degrees.”
For context, Fischer noted that human cremations are typically performed at around 1,400 degrees, adding that incinerators like this aren’t legal to operate within city limits and don’t have an obvious purpose at a residential property.
Fischer confirmed the burn cage was still new, boxed, and had never been used, and that it was not seized during the execution of a search warrant.
Addressing speculation that the item may have been intended as a music video prop, Fischer raised several questions that many online are also asking:
Why would something weighing 55 pounds be delivered to a private home instead of a prop house or production studio? Why would it be ordered right before leaving for an extended world tour? And if it was a prop, why was it never used?
He also stated that there were additional items at the residence that could potentially be used alongside the burn cage, though he stopped short of accusing anyone of criminal activity.
As previously reported, Celeste Rivas’ body was discovered in September inside the trunk of a Tesla registered to D4vd. The vehicle had been abandoned at a tow yard, where employees alerted authorities after noticing a foul odor. D4vd was reportedly on tour at the time of the discovery.
“Even though the incinerator was unused and not taken as evidence, its presence at the same residence tied to the vehicle where Celeste’s remains were found naturally raises questions,” Fischer wrote. “That doesn’t make it criminal — but it does add context.”
Sources also claim the burn cage was delivered under a false name, and Fischer says he uncovered records of other related items being delivered to the property as well.
At this time, no charges have been filed, and authorities have not publicly connected the burn cage to any criminal wrongdoing. The investigation into Celeste Rivas’ death remains ongoing.
