Deathbed confessions are always a dodgy business.

But retired cop David Meyers has just made a doozy.

The Las Vegas Metro police officer claims that he distributed $1.5 million to 30 people to fake Tupac's death.

"The world needs to know what I did," England's Mirror newspaper reports he said. "I'm ashamed that I let a price be put on my word and I cannot die without letting the world know."

He also says that Suge Knight helped orchestrate the cover up.

There have long been conspiracy theories suggesting Tupac is still alive.

However, a plot that involves 30 people -- who would then have to had stay silent all of these years -- seems far-fetched. It could be Meyers is just getting some crazy meds.
