The much anticipated Elizabeth Holmes documentary that aired on HBO Monday night revisited the tragic details of the Theranos biochemist who took his own life rather than expose the fact that the $9 billion company was built around a machine that did not work.

Ian Gibbons was found close to death in his bathroom after taking an overdose of pills on the morning of May 17, 2013, the same day he was to be deposed in a patent lawsuit filed against Theranos by a competitor.

He died in the hospital one week later, at which point his widow called the Theranos office to inform Holmes of the devastating news.

Holmes, who is currently awaiting a date being set for her fraud trial, did not call back however, and instead Gibbons' grieving wife was sent an email demanding she turn over her husband's computer and any other confidential Theranos documents.
