In a stunning and deeply unsettling announcement, the family of David Cassidy has just confirmed what many close to the late star long suspected — for the last decade of his life, he was secretly stalked by a fan whose obsession grew dangerously intense.
The revelation comes after the sudden emergence of a final handwritten letter, allegedly sent by the individual just weeks before David’s passing in 2017. The letter, now in the hands of authorities, is described as “emotional, erratic, and disturbing.”
According to Cassidy’s family, the fan was never publicly identified, but had reportedly been following him across states, sending gifts, showing up at hotel lobbies, and writing cryptic notes that were never made public — until now.
“We kept it private to protect David’s peace of mind,” said a close family friend. “But now that this final letter has come to light, we feel the world should know the kind of fear he lived with.”
The content of the letter, which is currently being analyzed by handwriting and behavioral experts, reportedly includes personal references only someone deeply familiar with David’s routines could know, as well as bizarre declarations of love, jealousy, and even threats.
While Cassidy remained composed in public, insiders say he often expressed quiet unease over certain fans who “seemed to know too much.”
Now, with this letter emerging, the family is considering whether to release parts of it to help raise awareness about the dangers of obsessive fandom — something David never wanted to make public while alive, but which may now serve as a powerful warning.
The contents of the letter are currently being… investigated, authenticated — and possibly prepared for limited release.
