In Washington, found 28-year-old head of the biotechnical company Ascendance Biomedical Aaron Treyvik. Trayvik called himself a biohacker and tested unchecked and unverified drugs on himself.

The body of Trayvik was found in the so-called sensory deprivation chamber - a dark capsule with water, which is used for meditation, BBC News reports..

The death of Aaron Treyvik was first reported by the publication of Vice. The police said that they do not see signs of a criminal component in his death. Additional information that would help shed light on the causes of death, is not yet provided.

A few months ago, Treyvik attracted media attention when he publicly injected an unlicensed drug, which, he claimed, would cure him of herpes.

Treivik claimed that his company, working in the field of so-called biohacking, developed an "experimental complex" that can cure HIV, AIDS and herpes, but did not provide an independent confirmation of his words.

Bio-choking is understood as an attempt by enthusiasts to correct the biology of their own organism, using a set of various measures, including lifestyle changes and diets, surgery and the use of unlicensed drugs.

A few months before his death, Trayvik had a conflict with other biohackers associated with Ascendance Biomedical.

Researchers close to the company told Vice that Treyvik did not contact his colleagues last month.

In February 2018, during a conflict with several employees of Ascendance Biomedical in an office in Florida, he locked himself in the company's laboratory and refused to leave.

The cause of the conflict was the disagreement of his colleagues with the way Treyvik speaks about biohaching in the media.

Traist's familiar Tristan Roberts, who also tested Ascendance Biomedical, stated that the biohacker sought a revolution in medicine.

He noted that many representatives of the scientific community did not approve of Trayvik's methods, but no one doubted the sincerity of his intentions.
