A putrid decomposing body has been found dumped in a Tesla reportedly registered to popular New York-born singer D4vd — several days after it was abandoned and taken to a Los Angeles tow yard.
Police made the grim discovery at the impound lot in Hollywood on Monday afternoon after workers reported a foul odor coming from the electric vehicle.

The 2023 Tesla is registered to David Anthony Burke, the 20-year-old Queens-born “Romantic Homicide” artist known as D4vd, ABC7 reported.
The identity of the victim wasn’t immediately known.
The human remains were found stashed inside a bag in the Tesla’s front trunk, police said.
The car, which bears Texas license plates, had been towed to the lot after being reported abandoned in the Hollywood Hills roughly five days ago, according to investigators.

He is currently in the middle of a world tour and has a show in Minneapolis scheduled for Tuesday night, with a Los Angeles stop slated for later this month.
D4vd — best known for his tracks “Here with Me” and “Romantic Homicide” — has billions of streams on Spotify.
