Police Reveal Key Detail in Ongoing Investigation of Celeste Rivas' Death
Police are still trying to figure out how a 15-year-old girl named Celeste died.
Her body was found in a car that belongs to a singer named D4vd.
The police don't know yet if a crime happened, besides hiding her body.
A detective who is not part of the police thinks the people who figure out the cause of death might have an answer soon.
This is because they seem to be finishing up other cases.
The singer D4vd is talking to the police and helping them.
They are looking at all the clues to find out what happened and make sure Celeste and her family get justice.
It's a complicated situation with many parts still being investigated.
The death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas is an ongoing investigation by the Los Angeles Police Department.
The cause and manner of Ms. Rivas' death have not yet been determined by the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner.
It remains unclear if there is any criminal culpability beyond the concealment of her body.
A private investigator suggested the cause of death determination could be made within the next ten days, potentially around November 10.
Singer D4vd is reported to be a cooperating civilian in the investigation.
