Wilcock died from a gunshot wound to the head at his home in Boulder, Colorado.
In a call placed to the Boulder County Communications Center at 10:44am on April 20, Wilcock told dispatchers, “I need to leave” and “I will be to the left of the house.”
Wilcock did not answer the dispatcher when asked if he was armed or if he was planning to hurt himself.
Details of the call were made available by the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office on Thursday in a press release.

At 10:53am, the first deputy from the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office arrived near Wilcock’s property and waited for backup before approaching the scene.
A second deputy arrived at 11:01am, and the pair drove toward the residence after making a plan of action on how they would approach safely.
Wilcock, who was still on the phone with 911 at this time, told dispatch at 11:04am that he was “sorry to put you through this” before hanging up the phone as the deputies pulled into his driveway.
The officers saw Wilcock sitting outside his home with a gun to his head, exited their vehicle, and took cover.
A single gunshot rang out “in an unknown direction,” according to the release, and deputies looked to see Wilcock still holding the gun to his head.
At 11:05am, police ordered Wilcock to put his gun down; seconds later, Wilcock shot himself.
Deputies searched the area and found no one else on the property.
Wilcock was pronounced dead at the scene.
In a statement given to police, his family said Wilcock’s death came “after a long struggle with depression and overwhelming financial debt.”
They also stated that he “experienced painful periods of struggle and difficulty.”
“While he was known as a charismatic and engaging teacher to fans, those who were closest to him knew the depth of his untreated mental health struggles intimately,” his family said.
“Many who knew him from afar have speculated that there is a cover-up involving his death, but we can assure you there was no foul play.”
Wilcock, a UFO researcher and regular guest on Ancient Aliens, died just days after the FBI confirmed a probe into possible connections between 11 missing or dead people linked to NASA and nuclear research programs.
The promise of an investigation came after mounting conspiracy theories online drew connections between each of the disappearances and deaths.
Wilcock himself had commented on the cases of the “missing scientists” during a YouTube livestream just one day before his death.
“I’m excited to be here, you know, every day that I have on earth is a gift and a blessing, and I’m very grateful for that, because frankly, people are disappearing. Scientists are going missing,” he had said.
“It’s a little bit scary. I gotta say, it’s a little bit scary.”
The day before his livestream, he had shared on X that he had “some very intense stuff going on this weekend.”
Wilcock was a prominent figure in the movement for disclosure, or the belief that the government is hiding information about extraterrestrials.
He also authored several books related to the topic, including titles like The Ascension Mysteries: Revealing the Cosmic Battle Between Good and Evil and Awakening in the Dream: Contact with the Divine.
