George Tyndall, the former University of Southern California campus gynecologist accused of sexually abusing hundreds of women, was found dead Wednesday at his home in Los Angeles, his attorney told ABC News. He was 76.
Tyndall was found deceased in bed by a close family friend who went to his home after being unable to reach him, according to attorney Leonard Levine. It was the friend’s opinion that Tyndall had been dead for quite a while, Levine said Thursday.
An autopsy is expected to be conducted, but Levine and the friend believe Tyndall died of natural causes.
In March of 2021, USC agreed to an $852 million settlement with more than 700 women who accused Tyndall of sexual misconduct.
but Levine and friend believe Tyndall died of natural causes.
Well that’s a bummer. He deserved a much worse death than natural causes.
Agreed. While on a rational level, I try not to be swayed by revenge, repeat criminals of violent crimes like this eventually get to a point where they are absolutely beyond redemption. Especially if they aren’t caught until they’ve already lived most of their life, so even if there could be some kind of rehabilitation, that person’s potential impact on society has already happened and was judged to be a net negative.
Beyond that, however, the biggest tragedy is not having a trial where at least some of the survivors might have gotten some form of finality. I hope they can get that out of his death and the knowledge he can no longer hurt anyone ever again.
I hope the grass grows green over his grave, watered by the spit of every visitor.
If he had died decades ago, a lot fewer lives would’ve been wrecked.
From a USA Today article:
After pleading not guilty in August and living free on bond, the 76-year-old’s criminal trial was set to take place next year with many victims expected to testify. He was charged with 27 felonies including 18 counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious person and nine counts of sexual battery by fraud. If convicted, he could have faced up to 64 years in prison.
I read this and it seemed like a pretty thorough accounting but I didn’t see anything that sounded like sexual assault on the “unconscious patients” that he’s charged with…?
What the hell is a “campus gynecologist”?
Is that some US healthcare shenanigan because students can’t go to regular doctors for some reason?
Some universities offer medical services on campus. Basic services will often be covered by tuition.
