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.

Now, weirdly, this is unusual for a coroner's report.

The official coroner report includes the fact that the doll was not in the room with him when he died.

Yeah, unfortunately, it's almost like a bit of the Barbra Streisand effect there.

Because by putting that into the report, people who have the tendency to not believe authority anyway are going to say, oh, wait, the authority says this doesn't have to do with the haunted doll.

That means that 100% does have to do with the haunted doll.

Well, I mean, this is a fascinating story.

This is a perfect storm.

This is an absolute perfect storm of Internet innuendo and also kind of like old fashioned Barnum and Bailey style hucksterism.

And part of the tragedy is that, of course, this doll had already been associated as part of the story they would tell about this doll in order to gain more attention.

They had already associated with death.
