LOS ANGELES — A former University of Southern California campus gynecologist charged with sexually assaulting students was found dead Wednesday inside his home, his lawyer said.
George Tyndall was awaiting trial on 35 criminal counts of sexual misconduct between 2009 and 2016 at the university’s student health center. He pleaded not guilty in 2019 and was free on bond. Leonard Levine, Tyndall’s defense attorney, confirmed the death to The Associated Press on Thursday. A close friend went to Tyndall’s home in Los Angeles on Wednesday after he had not answered her phone calls, Levine said. She found him dead in his bed.
Even as the criminal case was pending, USC agreed to an $852 million settlement with more than 700 women who accused the college’s longtime campus gynecologist of sexual abuse, the victims’ lawyers and USC announced in 2021. Tyndall, who worked at the school for nearly three decades, was deposed for the settlement and largely invoked his rights against self-incrimination in answers, the plaintiff’s lawyers said.
