David’s Death Impacted Lives Far and Wide

Before David died, his story had already gained attention worldwide. His suicide added to the dark side of the conversation that was beginning to gain traction and attract interest from the press. As John Colapinto described him, David was “one of the most famous patients in the annals of medicine.” He had struggled to hold on, but he finally gave in to the depression.

On the other hand, Dr. Money never publicly spoke about David’s case, though his colleagues claimed he was ashamed of how the experiment turned out. In 2006, he also went to his grave without a word, and his side of the story was never heard.
