SINGLE SOURCE
While multiple sources mention the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office and the manner of death, the specific claim that the office *ruled* it a homicide is not consistently confirmed across the provided evidence. One web search mentions the M.E. had trouble determining the manner of death due to decomposition, but no source explicitly states the final ruling was 'homicide' from the M.E.'s Office.

“The Los Angeles police sought to keep the findings secret for months as they investigated the singer D4vd, who was charged this week with the murder of the teenager.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that 'Los Angeles police sought to keep the findings secret for months' is not directly corroborated by multiple independent sources. The evidence mentions the investigation and the charges, but the specific detail about the police actively seeking to keep findings secret for months is only implied or stated in a single context.

“Celeste Rivas could have been as young as 12 when she allegedly began communicating D4vd, the 21-year-old pop star charged for her murder”
SINGLE SOURCE
The evidence provides conflicting or irrelevant information regarding Celeste Rivas's age when communicating with D4vd. The Wikipedia entries establish D4vd's age (born 2005) and the discovery date (2025), which would place Celeste at a specific age, but none of the provided sources directly confirm that she was 'as young as 12' when communication began. The evidence is insufficient to corroborate the specific age claim of 12.
