On February 5th, biohacker and CEO of Ascendance Biomedical took to the stage at a biohacking conference in Austin Texas, and injected himself with a DIY herpes treatment. Sunday, April 29th he was found dead… shock. According to LiveScience, the CEO was found dead in a sensory deprivation tank at a Washington D.C Spa, the police have no evidence suggesting foul play.

Traywick made news in October 2017, when he staged a live demonstration of a purported gene-therapy treatment for HIV, Live Science previously reported. The untested treatment was given to a volunteer named Tristan Roberts who has HIV; Roberts said that one month after the injection, his viral load had risen, not fallen.
