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.

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..?
