D4vd & the Sealed Autopsy: Inside the Coroner’s Security Hold and subsequent probe

D4vd & the Sealed Autopsy: Inside the Coroner’s Security Hold and subsequent probe In this episode, we break down the coroner‑office drama at the heart of the D4vd case. After 14‑year‑old Celeste Rivas‑Hernandez was found dead in the trunk of a Tesla registered to the singer, LAPD went to court and forced the L.A. County Medical Examiner to put a security hold on her autopsy—blocking release of cause and manner of death and sealing the report from the public. While detectives say the hold is about protecting a murder investigation, the Chief Medical Examiner has publicly pushed back, warning that broad security holds and leaked case files inside his own office expose serious “security holes” and undermine trust. We’ll walk through what a security hold actually does, why the ME’s office objected, how staff are now being investigated for allegedly accessing D4vd’s case without authorization, and what this power struggle really means for transparency, victims’ families, and future high‑profile investigations.
