Former USC gynecologist accused of sexual assault found dead in Los Angeles home

George Tyndall, a former USC gynecologist who was awaiting trial on sex-related charges involving 16 patients, has been found dead in his Los Angeles home. Tyndall was facing 18 felony counts of sexual penetration of an unconscious person and nine felony counts of sexual battery by fraud. The charges alleged that the crimes occurred between 2009 and 2016. Tyndall had surrendered his medical license in September 2019 and had consistently maintained his innocence. In March 2021, USC reached an $852 million settlement with hundreds of women who claimed they were sexually abused by Tyndall.
