David Reimer Meets a Tragic End

After David’s traumatic experience, he took it upon himself to transform his life. He found love, started a family, and even contributed to depopularizing Dr. Money’s absurd theories. While speaking about his past ordeal, he admitted he would do anything to forget the mental trauma he went through.

Despite all his efforts, it would take more than a lifestyle change and body modification to leave the past behind. Eventually, the weight of his struggles began to overpower him. In May 2004, two years after his twin died, David drove to a grocery store’s parking lot in Winnipeg and committed suicide with a sawed-off shotgun.
