(NewsNation) — Details surrounding the death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez have been ordered to be sealed.
The court order, initiated by the Los Angeles Police Department, requested a security hold be placed on the findings from the LA Medical Examiner.

Chief Medical Examiner Odey Ukpo said the department previously denied a LAPD request for a security hold on Sept. 15 due to “insufficient justification.” He added they have “not been proven to improve outcomes in the legal system.”
“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,” the statement read.
Ukpo referenced the public’s interest in Rivas Hernandez’s death and said the department “remains committed to transparency when possible.”
“Information will be made available once the court order is lifted,” he added.
D4vd considered a suspect: Report
Music artist D4vd, whose legal name is David Anthony Burke, is considered a suspect in relation to Rivas Hernandez’s death, according to NBC Los Angeles.
Rivas Hernandez was laid to rest by her family last month in California after police discovered her body in a Tesla that belonged to Burke.
Citing a law enforcement source, TMZ reported Rivas Hernandez’s death is being viewed as a homicide, though a cause of death has yet to be determined by the medical examiner.
