Paranormal Investigator Dan Rivera Dies of Natural Causes After Annabelle Tour

Dan Rivera, a paranormal investigator known for touring with the infamous Annabelle doll, died of natural cardiac-related causes, according to Adams County Coroner Francis Dutrow. Rivera was found dead in his hotel room in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, after completing a sold-out three-day tour, with no unusual or suspicious circumstances noted by authorities. Despite the doll's notorious reputation, including stories of paranormal activity and its central role in the Conjuring films, it was confirmed that Annabelle was not present at the time of Rivera's death. Rivera had a known history of heart problems, and police firmly debunked any supernatural involvement in his passing. The findings put to rest conspiracy theories linking the death to the cursed doll, emphasizing the natural cause of death consistent with Rivera's medical history. Rivera was a prominent figure with the New England Society for Psychic Research and helped bring national attention to the Annabelle doll through his tours and social media presence.
