David Wilcock, a UFO commentator and former “Ancient Aliens” regular, died by suicide on April 20 after Boulder County deputies responded to his home in Nederland, Colorado.
Minutes after deputies arrived around 11 a.m., Wilcock came out holding a gun and used it on himself, according to the sheriff’s office.
Wilcock had built a large paranormal following through his Divine Cosmos YouTube channel, which has about 550,000 subscribers, and books including a 2004 work claiming he was Edgar Cayce’s reincarnation.
His family said he had been struggling with depression, financial problems and the breakup of his four-year marriage in 2021, underscoring the toll conspiracy-focused celebrity can take on relatives left behind.
