How did they find the body?

On September 8, police in Los Angeles went to a tow yard near Mansfield Avenue and Romaine Street in Hollywood after getting calls about a bad smell.

Two days before it was towed, the car had been left on Bluebird Avenue and Doheny Drive. Later, investigators found out that the car belonged to 20-year-old singer David Anthony Burke, who goes by the stage name D4vd.
