A well-known figure in the paranormal community, celebrated for his work on UFO phenomena, has passed away in what authorities suspect was a suicide. The incident occurred earlier this week in Colorado.

The Boulder County Coroner’s Office confirmed that David Wilcock, aged 53, died on Monday, April 20, according to an official statement.

Authorities were alerted to the situation following a 911 call that reported a person in the midst of a mental health crisis at a residence near Nederland. The call came in at approximately 10:45 a.m., as reported by the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office.

Upon arriving at the scene, officers encountered Wilcock holding a weapon while outside the house. 

“Within minutes of deputies’ arrival,” Wilcock “used the weapon on himself,” officials said.

He boasted hundreds of thousands of followers on both YouTube and Facebook, and would often partake in livestreamed discussions in which he detailed his claims surrounding UFO research and discovery. 

Wilcock made regular appearances on the History Channel’s Ancient Aliens show and authored several books, including New York Times bestsellers The Synchronicity Key and The Source Field Investigations.

On April 18, Wilcock posted to X telling his followers that he may not be releasing a show the following day, adding he “had some very intense stuff going on this weekend.” 

“Always remember that the Creator is within – and we live in a loving universe,” Wilcock added. “I am very grateful to you for all of your love, care and support.”

Wilcock addressed suicide in a post on X, then known as Twitter, on Dec. 11, 2022, when he wrote: “I plan on LIVING. Not suicidal at all. Just concerned about what happens when you prove God is real.”
