Former University of Southern California gynecologist George Tyndall, accused of sexually abusing hundreds of women under the guise of medical exams, appears in court for arraignment in Los Angeles, California, U.S., July 1, 2019.
REUTERS/Patrick T. Fallon/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsOct 5 (Reuters) - Former University of Southern California (USC) campus gynecologist George Tyndall, who had been set to stand trial over accusations he sexually assaulted patients, has died, his defense attorney said on Thursday.
University officials have acknowledged failing to act on a number of complaints made against Tyndall but denied a deliberate cover-up.
Tyndall practiced at USC for nearly 30 years before the private, Los Angeles-based university suspended him in 2016.
I wanted to see him convicted for what he did," Audry Nafziger, a former patient who accused Tyndall of abuse, told the L.A. Times.
