Updated death certificate for Celeste Rivas Hernandez states it's unclear if she was pregnant

Key Points:

• Updated death certificate for Celeste Rivas Hernandez states it is unclear if she was pregnant before her death; prosecutors revealed texts between Celeste and singer D4vd discussing sex, pregnancy, and abortion when she was 13 and he was 18.
• D4vd, charged with first-degree murder and other crimes, allegedly killed and dismembered Celeste after she threatened to expose their relationship; prosecutors say he ordered chainsaws, a body bag, and an inflatable pool to cover up the crime.
