A “delusional conspiracy theorist” in Florida beat his father to death in anger over parents receiving vaccines, according to charging documents.
Brian McGann Jr., 44, is believed to have killed his father, Brian McGann Sr., during a rambling 20-minute phone call with a female family friend that began shortly after 11 p.m. Sunday, records seen by The Post revealed.
During the frantic exchange, the family friend allegedly heard McGann Sr. yelled, “Stop, you’re killing me” during an argument at his Lake Worth Beach home, the document said.
The individual also claimed to have heard McGann Jr. screamed and attacked his father before muttering, “He’s under my feet.”
The family friend called 911 and told investigators that the younger McGann was a “delusional conspiracy theorist” who became enraged “because he recently found out his father received the vaccine,” the complaint states.
McGann Jr. had also recently started using cocaine, the family friend told authorities.
