David Wilcock died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound outside his home in Boulder County on April 20, according to the Office of the Boulder County Coroner. Police responded to a 911 call about a man experiencing a mental health crisis around 10:44 a.m. local time, and within minutes of deputies' arrival, Wilcock used a weapon on himself and was pronounced deceased at the scene. No other individuals were located inside the residence or on the surrounding property.
Wilcock had previously posted on social media about not being suicidal. He spoke hours before his death about believing that a death from natural causes was the only acceptable way of dying. Days before his death, Wilcock told fans he had intense stuff going on and expressed love and gratitude. During the 911 call, Wilcock spoke about health issues and financial concerns before apologizing and disconnecting. Wilcock's family confirmed he took his own life after a long struggle with depression and overwhelming financial debt.
I just don't think there's any chance that this is just all coincidental.
Wilcock's death sparked suspicion of foul play among supporters and some members of Congress. Tennessee Congressman Tim Burchett responded to a social media post announcing Wilcock's death by writing 'not cool.' Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida commented on the death.
No other individuals were located inside the residence or on the surrounding property. The specific health issues and financial concerns Wilcock mentioned in the 911 call have not been publicly detailed. The exact nature of the mental health crisis he was experiencing is also unclear.
