Paranormal Writer and YouTuber David Wilcock Dead at 53 After Admitting He Had a ‘Really Rough Week’
David Wilcock, a paranormal writer who was also popular with his 511,000 YouTube subscribers, has reportedly died. He was 53.
TMZ reported on Wednesday, April 22, that authorities in Boulder County, Colorado, said a 911 call came in Monday, April 20, at 10:44 a.m. for an “unknown problem” outside the town of Nederland.
The person who took the 911 call allegedly believed the caller might have been having a mental health crisis, according to the outlet.
When authorities arrived at the scene, they reportedly encountered a man outside holding a weapon, which he allegedly used on himself. He was pronounced dead at the scene, TMZ said, and no one else was said to be home.
TMZ has reported the incident as connected to Wilcock, but as of press time, the Sheriff’s Office has not disclosed the identity of the decedent.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) confirmed Wilcock’s death with a post shared on X on Tuesday, April 21.
“We just learned of the tragic passing of David Wilcock. We are praying for his family and loved ones and the millions of lives he impacted,” she wrote, adding: “🕊️John 8:32.”
A cause and manner of death have not yet been reported.
Days before his reported death, Wilcock — who has authored multiple books and often spoke about aliens and UFOs — wrote on X on April 18, “I am not yet sure if I am doing a [YouTube] show tomorrow. I’ve had some very intense stuff going on this weekend.”
The social media personality then appeared on a YouTube livestream the following day and said, “I’m happy to be here. 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 now,” he claimed. “They’re saying they’re going to investigate this. The president himself is saying they’re going to look into this and see if anything’s going on. It’s a little bit scary. I got to say, it’s a little bit scary, but you guys knew that I might still show up even though it was last minute, and I’ve had a really rough week.”
“That’s kind of like every week,” he admitted, “but somehow we keep on making it through all of this. Somehow we keep on grinding our way through this thing and keeping on track and having it work out.”
