A badly decomposed body was found Monday at a Los Angeles impound lot in a Tesla belonging to the singer D4vd.
Los Angeles police were called to the lot on North Mansfield Avenue because of a “foul odor coming from a vehicle,” police said in a statement.
Law enforcement sources told NBC News that the remains were not intact and that identification will be delayed because of the decomposition of the victim.
The medical examiner’s office said the victim is a female who was wearing a tube top, black leggings, a yellow metal chain bracelet, and stud earrings. She had wavy black hair and weighed approximately 71 pounds. The office said the person appears to have been deceased inside the vehicle “for an extended period of time before being found.”
The medical examiner could not determine the person\u2019s age or ethnicity.
Officers found the body in a bag in the trunk of the Tesla at Hollywood Tow, NBC Los Angeles<\/a> reported. It was impounded after a person reported that it had been abandoned.
Los Angeles Police Capt. Robert Peters told the station that the vehicle had been at the lot for a few days. Video from the station showed yellow police tape surrounding the car.
As of Tuesday afternoon, the case was being treated as a death investigation.
D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, is on his Withered World Tour and is scheduled to perform Tuesday night at The Fillmore Minneapolis.
A spokesperson told NBC News in a statement that D4vd “has been informed about what\u2019s happened, and although he is still out on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities.”
Universal Music Group, the parent company of Interscope Records, referred questions to an attorney for D4vd. The attorney did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Another body was found in a car Tuesday at a different tow yard in South Los Angeles as part of an investigation into a missing person, police said. That tow yard is near Western and Gage avenues, around 7 miles south of Hollywood.
“At this point in the investigation there is no known connection between the two cases,” police spokeswoman Jennifer Forkish said.
