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.
Authorities told the outlet that it could take some time since the bagged remains weren’t intact on top of the body’s advanced decomposition from days locked in the Tesla’s front trunk, baking in the SoCal sun.
The car, which bears Texas license plates, had been towed to the lot after being reported abandoned in the Hollywood Hills roughly five days ago, according to investigators.
In that time, D4vd has been sharing routine posts with his 2 million followers on Instagram.
He is currently in the middle of a world tour and had a show in Minneapolis scheduled on Tuesday night, with a Los Angeles stop slated for later this month.
He previously performed on stage in Chicago on Saturday at The Salt Shed.
D4vd — best known for his tracks “Here with Me” and “Romantic Homicide” — has billions of streams on Spotify.
He released his second studio album “WITHERED” earlier this year.
