Police have launched an investigation after a body was found in a vehicle registered under the name of singer D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke, 20).

Local media, including 'NBC' and 'abc', reported on the 9th (local time) that a body in a bag was found in the vehicle being stored in a tow truck storage in LA, California.

The police, who were dispatched after receiving a report that the vehicle smelled bad, reportedly found a badly decomposed and damaged body after checking the front trunk (frunk). Currently, the victim has not been identified.




Two days before the incident, the vehicle was found abandoned on a road near Hollywood and towed, and an investigation was conducted after a report of an odor was received from the storage room.

L.A. police said they have now launched an investigation to determine the cause of death and are investigating the case with the possibility of murder in mind.

The body is damaged to the extent that it is difficult to recognize its shape, so it is expected to take some time to determine the exact timing and circumstances of the death. The L.A. County Medical Examiner's Office is conducting a thorough autopsy to clarify this.




The vehicle's registered name is D4vd, who was born in 2005, and according to police officials, it is one of several vehicles owned by D4vd and appears to have been used by people around it.

D4vd has been informed of the incident and is sincerely cooperating with the police investigation despite being on tour" he said.

D4vd is a new singer-songwriter who debuted after first gathering attention on social media, released his first full album in April this year and is currently on a world tour of 'Withed World'. On the evening of the 9th, the day of the incident, he was reportedly on stage at a concert hall in Minneapolis.




Last year, he performed his first concert in Korea, and in May, he performed on Mnet 'M Countdown'. In June, he released 'Always Love' featuring Hyunjin from Stray Kids, drawing attention at home and abroad.

Meanwhile, on the 10th, the next day, another body was found in a tow truck storage facility in southern LA, causing another shock. The link between the two cases has not been confirmed so far, police said.
