it's hard to say goodbye to someone
whose body of work has enriched our
lives for years the cubela ross model
posits that the first stage of grief is
denial a refusal to believe that our
loved one has truly passed on from this
life in the case of many prominent
public figures this has resulted in
certain conspiracy theories sprouting
like weeds in an untended garden
theories of varying veracity have been
cooked up for all sorts of celebrities
that we lost too soon from elvis presley
to andy kaufman even living celebs can
get snagged by crackpot ideas there are
those for example who claim that keanu
reeves is immortal while others say that
musicians such as paul mccartney died at
the peaks of their respective careers
and were replaced with body doubles by
their record labels of course no list of
celebrity death conspiracies would be
complete without mentioning the death of
beloved west coast rapper tupac shakur
the established police narrative would
have us believe that the man who made
music about gang members killing each
other was killed by a member of a rival
gang but some internet sleuths are just
too observant and diligent to believe
such a convenient excuse several
outlandish conspiracy theories
concerning tupac's death have been
popularized since 1996 but one
particular claim involving communist
revolutionaries and state-sanctioned
doppelgangers definitely takes the cake
rumors alleging that tupac was still
among the living sprang up right after
his death partly due to the fact that
his body was swiftly cremated almost
immediately after an autopsy was
supposedly performed then in december
2019 a man named michael nice published
a video to youtube in which he claimed
to have faked his own death a year
earlier and wanted to expose how tupac
had supposedly done the same claiming to
have been park's bodyguard in the 90s
nice said that he had to fake his own
death because he was on the verge of
releasing information that would prove
that tupac is still alive and the
shadowy figures behind the scenes were
not happy about it in the slightest
supposedly an ambulance driver friend
picked up nice who somehow momentarily
stopped his pulse a trick he had
apparently learned as a child and used a
decoy corpse to fool the coroners of
course nice eventually came back from
the dead to reveal to the world that
fidel castro had helped tupac fake his
death and flee to cuba several of nice's
videos that purportedly contained proof
of tupac survival have been posted to a
youtube channel called ichini studios
the cuba theory is merely one of several
absurd ideas that have been cooked up to
try and explain the rapper's tragic
death one theory propagated by filmmaker
rick boss holds that machiavelli wasn't
killed that day in vegas and instead
employed a look-alike so he could sneak
off to new mexico and live amongst the
people of the navajo tribe another
theory was put forth by tupac's infamous
friend and producer suge knight who was
at the wheel of the car in which tupac
was shot knight has claimed that he
heard tupac laugh multiple times on the
way to the hospital and that he never
saw him lose consciousness in the
immediate aftermath he also told the
media that tupac had spoken to him about
the idea of faking his own death while
they were on vacation in hawaii we was
in milwaukee you know what i mean in
pakistan vacations and
you get to talk about faking his own
death
suge knight's son shook junior has his
own theory of what happened to pop he
has made public a video shot in malaysia
of a man that he claims was tupac photos
that he says are of pak in the present
day have been called into question
because of the obvious likelihood that
they were photoshopped naturally shook
junior seems to believe that the
illuminati had something to do with pox
disappearance and adamantly defends his
position a claim that even other tupac
truthers think might be going a bit
