Unable to Heal
Tragically, Koswara passed away at age 42 from complications with Epidermodysplasia verruciformis. He passed away on January 30th, 2016 at about 3:30 PM. The Discovery Channel covered another man, who was from the same Indonesian town as Koswara, who also suffered from EV. Thankfully, that man's treatment worked much better and he is still alive today.
Newest Case
The most recent report of someone suffering from EV came from a five-year-old girl in Honduras. Cristhél Suyapa Martínez was diagnosed with this strange and rare disease in October of 2018. Though substantial progress has been made, recovery is a difficult road for all afflicted with this disorder. The media has already dubbed her "Tree Girl" in publications.
