A former University of Southern California campus gynecologist charged with sexually assaulting numerous students was found dead Wednesday, Oct. 5, inside his home, his lawyer said.
Tyndall, who was in his mid-70s, was awaiting trial on 35 criminal counts of sexual-misconduct, allegations stemming from 2009 to 2016 at the university’s student health center.A close friend went to Tyndall’s Los Angeles home on Wednesday after he had not answered her phone calls, Levine said. She found him dead in his bed.
Levine said Tyndall was due back in court later this month to set a date for his trial. His client had denied any wrongdoing and wanted to present his case before a jury.Hundreds of women came forward to report their allegations to police but some of the cases fell outside the 10-year statute of limitations, while others did not rise to the level of criminal charges or lacked sufficient evidence to prosecute, authorities said. Still, he faced up to 64 years in prison if convicted.
Tyndall, who worked at the school for nearly three decades, was deposed for the settlement and largely invoked his right against self-incrimination in answers, the plaintiff lawyers said. While he signed the settlement, he did not contribute any money toward it and did not admit to any wrongdoing.
