Adams County Coroner Francis Dutrow said Dan was surrounded by coworkers Sunday morning (July 13), but they left when he said he was feeling sick and needed to go back to his room to rest.
When they went to check on him, they allegedly found him dead. An EMS was called, but they couldn’t revive him. The official autopsy results still won’t be ready for a couple months, per the report.
“We are heartbroken and still processing this loss. Dan truly believed in sharing his experiences and educating people on the paranormal. His kindness and passion touched everyone who knew him. Thank you for your support and kind thoughts during this difficult time,” the New England Society for Psychic Research said in a statement.
The death occurred while he was with the “haunted” Annabelle doll, which inspired the eponymous 2014 film. It was also popularized through the 2013 horror movie The Conjuring and its subsequent film franchise. The doll was first purchased in 1970 from a hobby store by a mother and given to her daughter, a nursing student, in Connecticut.
Lorraine and Ed Warren, the original investigators of the doll, claim it has a “demonic” presence.
The New England Society for Psychic Research announced the tour will continue on, despite the tragic passing. Our thoughts are with Dan Rivera‘s loved ones at this difficult time.
