David Wilcock, the paranormal author, YouTuber and prominent voice in the UFO disclosure movement, died Monday near Nederland, Colorado. He was 53.
TMZ, which first reported the death, said Boulder County authorities received a 911 call at approximately 10:44 a.m. on Monday reporting an unknown problem near the 1400 block of Ridge Road, northeast of Nederland. The emergency communications specialist who took the call believed the caller may have been experiencing a mental health crisis.
Deputies arrived on scene shortly after 11 a.m. and encountered a man outside a residence who was holding a weapon. Within minutes of their arrival, officials said the man used the weapon on himself. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators searched the home and surrounding property and found no one else. Detectives are working alongside the Boulder County Coroner’s Office to determine the official cause and manner of death.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican who leads the House Oversight Task Force on declassification of federal secrets and sits on the Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena Caucus, announced the news on X.
“We just learned of the tragic passing of David Wilcock,” Ms. Luna wrote. “We are praying for his family and loved ones and the millions of lives he impacted.”
Mr. Wilcock was born March 8, 1973, in Rotterdam, New York. He earned a degree in psychology from the State University of New York at New Paltz in 1995. He established himself as a leading figure in the disclosure movement, which advocates for an end to what believers characterize as U.S. government secrecy about the existence of aliens and UFOs.
A New York Times bestselling author, Mr. Wilcock wrote several books, including “The Source Field Investigations,” “The Synchronicity Key” and “The Ascension Mysteries.” He co-authored “The Reincarnation of Edgar Cayce?” with Wynn Free, in which he advanced the theory that he was the reincarnation of the early 20th-century American clairvoyant known as “the sleeping prophet.” He hosted “Wisdom Teachings with David Wilcock” on Gaia TV beginning in 2013 and made numerous appearances on the History Channel’s “Ancient Aliens.” His YouTube channel had accumulated more than 500,000 subscribers.
Mr. Wilcock had been active on social media in the days before his death, posting to his followers on Sunday: “Always remember that the Creator is within and we live in a loving universe.”
