Annabelle strikes again? Handler of 'demonically possessed' doll dies after show with Raggedy Ann

PENNSYLVANIA: The 54-year-old senior paranormal investigator who toured the country with the infamous 'demonically possessed' Annabelle doll has died. Reports are that renowned paranormal investigator Dan Rivera, a senior lead investigator for the Connecticut-based New England Society for Psychic Research, passed on July 13. Dan was organising the 'Devils on the Run Tour' in Pennsylvania. Annabelle's tour in Gettysburg is sponsored by Ghostly Images of Gettysburg Tours at the Soldiers National Orphanage. The show was completely sold out as the stories about the doll's haunted background are world-famous. Dan Rivera died on Sunday shortly after the tour.

Firefighters and medical professionals were dispatched to a hotel in Gettysburg Sunday night after receiving reports of CPR being performed on a male patient. The exact cause of death has not yet been released. Sources say he was found alone in his room, and there was no evidence of any 'paranormal activity' in his death.

"It’s with deep sadness that Tony, Wade, and I share the sudden passing of our close friend and partner, Dan Rivera. 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." New England Society for Psychic Research(NESPR) posted online.

He has also worked as a producer on paranormal activity shows such as Travel Channel's 'Most Haunted Places' and Netflix's '28 Days Haunted'.
