## 2018 accusations and conspiracy following
In mid-2018 Kappy began posting [Periscope](https://www.edgepedia.org/periscope) and YouTube videos accusing prominent Hollywood figures of pedophilia, using the #QAnon hashtag associated with the pro-Trump conspiracy theory of that name. The targets included [Tom Hanks](https://www.edgepedia.org/tom-hanks), Steven Spielberg, and [Seth Green](https://www.edgepedia.org/seth-green).[2](https://www.mediamatters.org/alex-jones/qanon-conspiracy-theorist-uses-appearance-alex-jones-make-accusations-about-seth-green) On the July 31, 2018 edition of *The Alex Jones Show*, hosted by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, Kappy claimed that Seth Green was sexually interested in children, based in part on an alleged dinner at which Green, creator of the show *Robot Chicken*, told him "We need to have a talk about chicken"; Kappy asserted that "chicken" was a code word, and he provided no substantiating evidence despite naming Green and his wife directly.[2](https://www.mediamatters.org/alex-jones/qanon-conspiracy-theorist-uses-appearance-alex-jones-make-accusations-about-seth-green) For a brief period his videos and other QAnon-affiliated broadcasts dominated YouTube search results for the celebrities he named.[2](https://www.mediamatters.org/alex-jones/qanon-conspiracy-theorist-uses-appearance-alex-jones-make-accusations-about-seth-green)
The accusations made Kappy a minor celebrity in Q-adjacent communities, where he described himself as a "Hollywood whistleblower".[4](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/jan/24/facebook-posts/actor-isaac-kappy-died-years-ago-qanon-claims-he-w/) • [6](https://cdn.winecompanion.com.au/-/media/corporate/hgbooks/pages%20and%20spreads/2021/qanon%20and%20on_sample_chapter%201_final.ashx) Media Matters described the claims as an illustration of how far some conspiracy theorists would go in pursuit of infamy.[2](https://www.mediamatters.org/alex-jones/qanon-conspiracy-theorist-uses-appearance-alex-jones-make-accusations-about-seth-green)
## Death
On May 13, 2019, Kappy died near Bellemont, Arizona. According to the official record, he jumped from the Transwestern Road bridge onto Interstate 40 and was struck by a vehicle; the *Arizona Daily Sun*, which first reported the death, identified the vehicle as a pickup truck.[3](https://factually.co/fact-checks/justice/isaac-kappy-death-official-findings-public-records-ea420e) • [7](https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/isaac-kappy-dies-thor-terminator-025322186.html) According to news reports, drivers who happened by left their vehicles and tried to hold Kappy back on the bridge, but they could not prevent him from leaping.[3](https://factually.co/fact-checks/justice/isaac-kappy-death-official-findings-public-records-ea420e) The Arizona Department of Public Safety described the incident as a suicide and closed the investigation, and contemporaneous fact-checks and law-enforcement statements reflect that no official finding of homicide or foul play was made.[3](https://factually.co/fact-checks/justice/isaac-kappy-death-official-findings-public-records-ea420e)
In the days before his death, Kappy posted a lengthy Instagram message and final videos in which he wrote about guilt, drug and alcohol abuse, and apocalyptic or self-condemnatory themes; authorities and news outlets treated this material as contextual evidence of suicidal intent.[3](https://factually.co/fact-checks/justice/isaac-kappy-death-official-findings-public-records-ea420e) An Instagram post published on his account before he died said, "Beware the man that has nothing to lose, for he has nothing to protect," a reference to a QAnon conspiracy theory, and accused several celebrities of pedophilia.[4](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/jan/24/facebook-posts/actor-isaac-kappy-died-years-ago-qanon-claims-he-w/)
## Conspiracy claims about his death
Claims that Kappy was killed to silence him spread soon after his death and have continued for years. A January 2023 Facebook video titled "New terrifying evidence confirms Isaac Kappy's death was planned" recirculated the unfounded claim that Tom Hanks murdered Kappy; [PolitiFact](https://www.edgepedia.org/politifact) rated the claim "Pants on Fire," noting that the Arizona Department of Public Safety had told reporters in 2019 that Kappy died after jumping off a bridge, and that there was no evidence Hanks or anyone else murdered him.[4](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/jan/24/facebook-posts/actor-isaac-kappy-died-years-ago-qanon-claims-he-w/) Other posts have alleged that Kappy faked his death.[8](https://mileswmathis.com/kappy.pdf) The murder narrative remains a recurring element of QAnon material about Hollywood.[4](https://www.politifact.com/factchecks/2023/jan/24/facebook-posts/actor-isaac-kappy-died-years-ago-qanon-claims-he-w/)
