AceShowbiz - David Wilcock, the well-known YouTuber, paranormal author, and UFO conspiracy theorist, passed away on April 20, 2026, at the age of 53, according to multiple reports. News of his death first emerged after a Florida U.S. representative publicly mentioned it, with TMZ subsequently confirming the story. The Boulder County Coroner’s Office is currently investigating the official cause of death.

David Wilcock was a prominent figure in the disclosure movement, which promotes theories about the U.S. government concealing intelligence related to UFOs. Originally from Rotterdam, New York, he gained recognition as a media personality, paranormal writer, and YouTuber.

Details surrounding Wilcock’s death have been reported by TMZ, which states that he died after using an unidentified weapon "on himself." Authorities from Boulder County, Colorado, responded to a 911 call on April 20, 2026, just before 11:00 a.m. local time. The call was for an unspecified problem, and a communications specialist handling the call suspected the individual might have been experiencing a mental health crisis.

When deputies arrived at the residence, they found a man outside holding a weapon. Minutes later, the man used the weapon on himself and was pronounced dead at the scene. The Boulder County Coroner’s Office will determine the exact cause of death in the coming days.

One of the earliest public confirmations of Wilcock’s death came from U.S. Representative Anna Paulina Luna from Florida. She tweeted on April 22, 2026, expressing condolences and prayers for his family, loved ones, and the millions impacted by his work.

In the days leading up to his passing, Wilcock remained active on social media. On April 19, 2026, just one day before his death, he posted a tweet announcing a planned live video. In the tweet, he questioned a recent photo shared by Donald Trump depicting himself as Jesus Christ, asking if the former president had “lost his mind” and referring to the possibility of him being the Antichrist.

“Dear Family,” he wrote, “I slept miraculously well last night and decided to go LIVE today! Why in the world did POTUS post that Christ-like picture? Has he lost his mind? Are we going to be okay? Is he the Antichrist?”

According to TMZ, Wilcock died by suicide. His death has sparked conversations about mental health awareness. If you or someone you know is struggling emotionally or considering suicide, help is available. Contact the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-TALK (8255).
