David Wilcock passed away at the age of 54 on April 20, 2026. The news of his demise started making rounds on the internet on April 22, 2026 (ET) and was later confirmed by the Boulder County Coroner’s Office in a press release. While the news left the UFO scientists’ fans heartbroken, it has now given birth to a theory that there might be more to the demise of Wilcock than what meets the eye.
For the unversed, David Wilcock’s death came after the passing of two other prominent UFO figures in recent times. It began with the demise of Erich von Daniken, who passed away in January 2026, and Nick Pope, who died earlier in April 2026. While Daniken was a Swiss author, Pope ran the British government’s UFO division. Their sudden passing in the last four months has created a buzz among the netizens, who have alleged that there might be some sort of link between Wilcock, Pope and Daniken’s death.
