After multiple complaints of a severe foul odor from Hollywood area residents, a body was discovered inside of a vehicle at a Hollywood area tow yard Tuesday morning. In a shared comment provided to Our Weekly from LAPD, the owner of the vehicle is unknown, despite multiple reports from mainstream media outlets that state the vehicle is allegedly a Tesla registered to singer 20-year-old D4vd.
“We cannot confirm or deny the owner of the vehicle”, authorities said to Our Weekly.
Law enforcement responded on Monday at 12:20pm, after a complaint was filed about a horrible smell coming from an impounded vehicle on the 100 block of N. Mansfield Avenue, according to the police. LAPD told Our Weekly that “detectives responded and located possible human remains.”
