The LA County Department of Medical Examiner has removed publicly-viewable information about the ongoing investigation into the death of Celeste Rivas-Hernandez, the 15-year-old whose remains were discovered inside a Tesla sedan registered to the pop singer D4vd.

The Medical Examiner, commonly referred to as the Coroner, confirmed Monday that it received a court order to place a security hold, or ‘seal,’ on information connected with the case.

“No records or details associated with the case, including the cause and manner of death and Medical Examiner report, can be released or posted on the website until further notice,” said Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Odey Ukpo in a statement.

The cause and timing of Rivas-Hernandez' death remain a mystery and a key focus of the LAPD's investigation, being led by detectives from its Robbery-Homicide Divison.

"This is an ongoing RHD homicide case, and the purpose of the court order is to ensure the LAPD receives information on this case from the Medical Examiner’s office before the public does," LAPD Capt. Mike Bland told NBC4 Investigates.
