Michael Protzman, leader of Dallas QAnon group, dies after crash in Minnesota

Michael Brian Protzman, the leader of a QAnon-centric group who brought hundreds of followers to Dallas to await the supposed resurrections of long-dead President John F. Kennedy and his son — tearing countless families apart in the process — died following a crash last month, according to authorities in Minnesota.

Protzman was 60. His death, which occurred last Friday, was confirmed to The Dallas Morning News by the bureau of vital statistics in Olmsted County, about 100 miles south of Minneapolis.

According to a death report obtained by Vice News, Protzman died of blunt-force injuries after losing control of a dirt bike on June 23, one week before his death.
