US EditionCause Of Death Revealed For CT Paranormal Researcher Involved With Annabelle Doll
Dan Rivera, 54, died of natural cardiac causes consistent with his medical history, confirmed by Adams County coroner nearly two months after his July passing.
- On September 4, 2025, Adams County Coroner Francis Dutrow announced Dan Rivera's death was cardiac-related and ruled natural, nearly two months after Rivera was found in Gettysburg on July 13.
- Given Rivera's medical history, officials said he had cardiac issues consistent with autopsy findings, and investigators found nothing unusual or suspicious at the Gettysburg scene with Annabelle doll absent.
- Rivera was traveling on the Devils on the Run tour when he was found in his Gettysburg hotel room after a three-day stint; the 54-year-old veteran and NESPR investigator is survived by his wife and four children.
- After Rivera's death, online speculation linked it to the Annabelle doll, but Jason Hawes and New England Society for Psychic Research representatives pushed back, urging respect for Rivera's family and son David.
- Annabelle's notoriety stems from alleged 1970 hauntings and Ed and Lorraine Warren's sensational claims inspiring The Conjuring films, with the doll now kept in the Warren Occult Museum in Connecticut and legally guarded by stand-up comic Matt Rife shortly after Rivera's death.
