 UFO hunter texted 'If anything happens to me, investigate' before he died 
 
 A 39-year-old British conspiracy theorist and UFO phenomenologist who was found dead in Warsaw in June sent his mother a text days before his death telling her, "If anything happens to me, investigate." It comes after Ms Bates gave an interview in which she said her son’s investigations into UFOs and government cover-ups may have made him enemies who wanted him dead. Max Spiers, who was in excellent health according to his family, was discovered dead on a couch by a woman he was staying with ahead of a conference he was due to speak at in Poland. “But I think Max had been digging in some dark places and I fear that somebody wanted him dead.” 
 
 Ms Bates said her son had suffered from migraines in the days before he died and was taking antibiotics when she last spoke to him on 14 July. On one website, Project Camelot, a blogger wrote: “The entire circumstances are suspicious and I urge everyone to encourage the release of details about what really happened and call for an autopsy.” 
 
 Another, Craig Hewlett, added: “If it wasn't true what he talks about then why would they kill him? Healthy people don't just get sick and die, they get poisoned.” 
 
 Miles Johnson, who runs supernatural conspiracy theory group the Bases project and knew Mr Spiers personally, said in an interview with Project Camelot: “A person has died here and I don't think it's good enough [that] somebody who just took normal medication should end up vomiting, spewing black liquid, whatever it was. It does seem that UFO researchers are now being targeted, probably to slow the rate of information being leaked to the public.” 
 
 However, author and journalist Nick Pope, who investigated the UFO phenomenon for the Ministry of Defence in the early Nineties, said on Twitter: “The death of Max Spiers was a tragedy, but having run the UK Government's UFO project I promise we don't go around killing UFO researchers.” 
 
 Ms Bates described her son as a “very fit man who was in good health", adding: "All I have is a death certificate from the Polish authorities that it was from natural causes, but no post-mortem was done so how can they tell that? “They are also refusing to release any paperwork about it to me because, absurdly, I don't have his written permission.”

 Mr Spiers was buried in Canterbury cemetery after his mother arranged to have his body flown home a week after his death. After Spiers' body was returned to England, an autopsy was carried out by a pathologist in east Kent, according to the Metro, but Bates said the results will not be known for several months.
– Days before his death this summer, 39-year-old Max Spiers texted his mother these words: "If anything happens to me, investigate." The Brit just happened to be a well-known figure in the world of UFO researchers, and now conspiracy theories are running wild. Authorities in Poland, where Spiers died, say it was natural causes, and the British government has declined to investigate, reports the Independent. His peers in the UFO community, however, are more than a little skeptical. Kerry Cassidy at Project Camelot says "the entire circumstances are suspicious and I urge everyone to encourage [the release of details] about what really happened and call for an autopsy." Another UFO blogger says, per SFGate: "Healthy people don't just get sick and die, they get poisoned." According to the Telegraph, Spiers had been invited to Poland to speak about his theories at a conference. Friends say he had been staying with a woman in Warsaw ahead of the conference and was vomiting black liquid and suffering from migraines before being found dead on a couch. Spiers' mother, Vanessa Bates, describes him as a "very fit man who was in good health," and she fears her son made enemies after "digging into dark places." But UFO expert Nick Pope tweeted Sunday that the idea of Spiers being silenced is a little much. "Having run the UK government's UFO project I promise we don't go around killing UFO researchers."
