LOS ANGELES—George Tyndall, a former longtime University of Southern California (USC) campus gynecologist who was awaiting trial on sex-related charges involving 16 patients who accused him of inappropriate behavior under the guise of medical exams, was found dead in his Los Angeles home, one of his attorneys said Oct. 5.
Defense attorney Leonard Levine said a close friend who talked with Mr. Tyndall every day was unable to reach him, used a key to get into his Los Angeles condominium, where he lived alone, and found the 76-year-old man unresponsive Wednesday.
