On September 9, it was reported that a body was found in an impounded vehicle in Los Angeles, California.
The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a report of a foul odor coming from an impounded car that had been at the property for a couple of days and discovered the body, which had been placed inside a bag.

Initial reports only mentioned that there was no identification found with the body, but later ones shared that the vehicle, a Tesla, was registered to popular singer D4VD.
