Dan Rivera, lead investigator and caretaker of the infamous Annabelle doll, has died at age 54 while touring with the New England Society for Psychic Research. A respected figure in the paranormal world, Rivera had been sharing the legacy of Ed and Lorraine Warren, traveling across the U.S. with Annabelle — the supposedly haunted doll said to be possessed by a demonic entity. His death came after appearing in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where he spoke at the historic Soldiers Orphanage Homestead.<br /><br />Rivera’s passing has only intensified speculation surrounding the “Devils on the Run” tour. In May, Annabelle’s stop in New Orleans was followed by a major fire and a jailbreak, prompting viral conspiracy chatter online. Then in Pennsylvania, a regional power outage hit just before the final day of the event — and by July 13th, Rivera was gone.
