Decomposing Body Found In Towed Car Registered To Popular Singer: Report

HOLLYWOOD, CA — A car that was found with human remains inside at a Hollywood tow yard is registered to the popular singer D4vd, according to a report.

Officers responded around 12:20 p.m. Monday to the 1000 block of North Mansfield Avenue, just south of Santa Monica Boulevard, following multiple complaints about a foul odor coming from a car. Police located the remains inside, police said.

"We were notified this morning, and the car's been here for a couple of days," LAPD Capt. Robert Peters said Monday.

The body was in such an advanced state of decomposition, authorities were not able to immediately determine the person's gender, KTLA reported.

The body was found wrapped in plastic and placed in the Tesla's front trunk, the New York Post reported.

The car was towed from the Hollywood Hills after it was reported abandoned nearly a week ago, KTLA reported.

The car is registered in Hempstead, Texas to David Anthony Burke, who goes by D4vd, TMZ reported.
