His death was confirmed in an April 22 press release by Boulder police on April 22. Police said that authorities were called to the scene after receiving reports of an individual experiencing a “mental health crisis”.

“Deputies… made contact with a male outside a residence who was holding a weapon. Within minutes of deputies’ arrival, he used the weapon on himself. He was pronounced deceased at the scene,” the release said.

The deceased individual was later confirmed to be David Wilcock, an American paranormal writer and UFO researcher. Wilcock was 53 at the time of his death.

The old post, coupled with a video shared two days before his death where Wilcock expressed gratitude for being alive, gave rise to many conspiracy theories.

David Wilcock had streamed live on YouTube just two days before his death. During the livestream, the 53-year-old conveyed his appreciation for being alive in light of the enigmatic deaths of UFO theorists.

I’m excited to be here, you know, every day that I have on earth is a gift and a blessing, and I’m very grateful for that, because frankly, people are disappearing. Scientists are going missing,” he had said. “Now, they're saying that they’re gonna investigate this. The president himself is saying they’re gonna look into this and see if anything is going on. It’s a little bit scary.”

Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna added fuel to fire when she posted about the suspicious number of scientists who have died recently. “If you are feeling uneasy about the amount of scientists that have gone missing, died, and recent suicides ref those scientists and others you are correct in your intuition. Something is up,” she wrote on X after confirming Wilcock's death.
