D4vd’s manager, Josh Marshall, has broken his silence as rumors continue to swirl around the tragic death of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Marshall, who goes by JMogul on TikTok, spoke out in the comments of a recent video to distance himself from speculation that he had knowledge of the case.

“This has been a tough time for my family as I am a father of 3 children,” Marshall explained. “I never received any emails. I had zero knowledge of anything and I don’t live in California. Also I work remotely 95% of the time and my job doesn’t require me to have much interaction with any of my clients/David as there are many others that work with him on a day to day capacity, not me.” He emphasized that while he manages D4vd, whose real name is David Anthony Burke, others are responsible for daily work with the young musician. Marshall also called for people to stop speculating and instead allow investigators to do their job, adding, “This news is tragic for so many and for her family. I hope the proper authorities get to the bottom of it soon.”
While Marshall’s comments attempted to calm the online frenzy, new information has surfaced about Celeste’s home life. Riverside County records show deputies visited her home multiple times between 2022 and 2025. There was also a spike in visits earlier this year in February. Many of those visits were listed as follow-ups rather than emergencies, though the reasons for repeated checks were not explained.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has not determined how Celeste died. Her death certificate lists the cause as “deferred,” pending toxicology and lab results. Authorities continue to treat the matter as a death investigation. Records also confirm she was not pregnant within the past year.
