Alan Thicke dies

On December 13, 2016, celebrity Alan Thicke died at the age of 69 from an aortic dissection.Some months before his death, Thicke was in a reading with Henry for the Hollywood Medium TV show. Among the many topics Henry discussed, concerns about possible heart problems were raised:

"When it comes to a family gene problem, it is possible that there are several men in your family who, at a later age, have a blood pressure problem, but also a heart murmur or an arrhythmia, but I have to go to my heart go, which is related to blood pressure. So, keep that in mind, I have a few people here who share similar things with me and say to keep your own heart in mind. There is one man who is very persistent who has died, he acknowledges that he is dying of a heart problem. His message is don't be stubborn like me ... it could have been treatable if we had known about it. "

After Thicke's death, this part of his reading was used by Henry's fans as evidence that Henry actually predicted Thicke's death. Various news channels reported uncritically about it, some with sensational headlines like "Tyler Henry Eerily Predicts Alan Thicke's Death on Hollywood Medium" ("Tyler Henry predicts the death of Thicke on the TV show Hollywood Medium").

Skeptical activist Susan Gerbic, in a September 15, 2017 article in the Skeptical Inquirer, questioned the claim that this was a successful psychological prediction. In a detailed breakdown of the entire reading, Gerbic reports that immediately after the statements above, Thicke joked, "Thank you, Doctor Henry, I'll take this to heart." Gerbic reported that this made Henry throw his head back and laugh. Gerbic said, "I mention this because it seems so heartless (pun intended) that if Henry REALLY thought that Thicke's heart was going to fail just a few months later, he would have been less reckless and actually very strict," Gerbic continued :

“Remember, Henry used the chance again. The leading cause of death for American men? You guessed it: heart disease ... My purpose in this investigation is to show that there is no evidence of communication with the dead, everything that was said was general or edited. If this is such a great case of predicting someone will get a call from the "other side" to have their heart examined, why was it so vague? Is it Hollywood Medium's fault that Alan Thicke didn't take Henry's prediction seriously? "
