And so, of course...

Internet rumors start to spread.

It's got to be the doll.

The doll did this.

Because the doll had visited and then these things happened, therefore, these things were caused by the doll visit.

And as you know, and I know, and the listeners all know, this is some classic post-Hawk, Ergo Proctor Hawk thinking.

In English, after this, therefore caused by this.

It's one of the mistakes that we make often.

It's why we're superstitious.

It's this idea that just like a thing happens and then another thing happens.

And because the first thing happened first, it must have caused the second thing to happen.

Yeah, exactly.

But of course, the truth is just because a thing happens and then another thing happens doesn't mean the second thing was caused by the first thing.

If I sneeze and then an earthquake happens, that doesn't mean my sneeze caused the earthquake, even though obviously on social media, somebody would almost certainly have said that my sneeze caused the earthquake.

Well, I mean, first of all, his friends and family came out, including people who were working on the tour.

And they gave statements to the media saying, no, actually, there's nothing weird or supernatural about this death.

And what people should be concentrating on instead is that he's a good man who's going to be missed.

The truth is he had been dealing with heart issues.

According to the coroner, his death was not suspicious in any way.

He had been having heart problems, and it was a heart problem that ultimately led to his death.
