David Wilcock, a prominent figure in the UFO disclosure movement, has died at the age of 53 in Boulder County, Colorado. The coroner's office confirmed that he took his own life on April 20, 2025.
Wilcock was known for his work in the disclosure movement, which advocates for the release of government information about extraterrestrial life. He regularly appeared on the History Channel program Ancient Aliens and ran a popular YouTube channel, Divine Cosmos with David Wilcock, which had over 46 million views and 518,000 subscribers.
His death has sparked an outpouring of tributes on social media, including from Representative Anna Paulina Luna, who called it “tragic” and referenced a Bible verse. The Boulder County Sheriff's Office reported that they received a call about a mental health crisis before Wilcock's death, and no other individuals were involved.
Wilcock's final social media posts included a message to his “Dear Family” two days before his death, saying he had “some very intense stuff going on” and expressing love and appreciation for his followers. The following day, he mentioned sleeping well and planning a live show.
His death comes amid a series of conspiracy theories about scientists linked to sensitive U.S. research. The House Oversight Committee announced an investigation into the deaths and disappearances of 10 such scientists, and the FBI is also launching its own inquiry.
