The son of a Connecticut paranormal investigator who died while touring with the Annabelle doll remembered his father as "a great man who loved deeply and lived fully."

A paranormal investigator, Dan Rivera, was found dead in his hotel room while touring with the haunted Annabelle doll. He was on a tour ahead of the new Conjuring movie's release.
