Celeste Rivas Autopsy Update: What We Know – What Reddit is Saying

Alright, let's cut to the chase. The Celeste Rivas case, involving the discovery of a young woman's body in D4vd's Tesla, is dragging on. The latest update, courtesy of a private investigator hired by D4vd's former landlord (yes, you read that right), suggests we might get a cause of death determination soon—around November 10th, give or take.

The Timeline Tightens (Maybe)

PI Steve Fischer, who's apparently been tracking LA County Medical Examiner cases, noted on X (formerly Twitter, for those of you still living in 2010) that the office seems to be catching up on deferred cases. He estimates that cases through September 1st or 2nd are now resolved. Given that Rivas' body was found on September 8th, Fischer speculates a determination is imminent. Celeste Rivas autopsy update: PI gives massive update in D4vd Tesla case; 'cause of death to be..'

Now, before we get too excited, Fischer clarifies this doesn't mean the full autopsy report will be available. We're talking about an initial classification: homicide, natural causes, suicide, accidental, or undetermined. It’s a start, but hardly a resolution. Also, Fischer himself admits this timeline assumes Rivas' case is being processed consistently with others. Big assumption.

This whole situation reminds me of trying to predict a stock's performance based on quarterly reports. You see a trend, you make a projection, and then some unforeseen event throws everything out the window. (Like, say, finding a body in a Tesla trunk).

The Investigation's Murky Waters

The LAPD has stated that without a determined cause of death, they can't proceed with a homicide investigation. Fair enough, but this highlights a critical bottleneck in the process. The medical examiner's office essentially holds the key.

And here's where I get a little uneasy. Why the delay? We're talking about a high-profile case. Is the backlog genuinely that severe, or are there other factors at play? (Political sensitivities, perhaps? The involvement of a celebrity?) Details on the examiner's office's internal processes are scarce, to say the least.

Fischer previously floated the possibility of an accidental overdose. The LAPD, too, hinted at the possibility of no foul play. But until we have concrete evidence, these are just speculations. It's like trying to value a company based on rumors instead of financial statements – a recipe for disaster.

And this is the part of the report that I find genuinely puzzling. The LAPD has access to the crime scene (the Tesla, the rented accommodation), witness statements, and forensic evidence. Yet, they're waiting on the medical examiner to tell them if a crime even occurred? Something doesn't quite add up.

The Truth Will Out... Eventually

The delay in determining the cause of death feels like a stall. The longer this drags on, the greater the risk of evidence degrading, memories fading, and public interest waning. Justice delayed, as they say, is justice denied. But the numbers will always speak.

So, What's the Real Story?

Let's be blunt: this case is a mess. The reliance on a private investigator for updates, the slow pace of the official investigation, and the lack of transparency from the medical examiner's office all point to a system struggling to cope. The delay in determining the cause of death isn't just a procedural hiccup; it's a sign of deeper problems. And until those problems are addressed, the truth will remain elusive.
