A FORMER gynecologist accused of sexually assaulting hundreds of women has been found dead at his home.

George Tyndall, 76, was awaiting trial on 35 sex crimes involving 16 patients when he was found dead in his Los Angeles home on Wednesday.

Tyndall, a former gynecologist who worked at the University of Southern California, had pleaded not guilty for the crimes that allegedly occurred between 2009 and 2015.

The disgraced doctor worked at USC’s health clinic for three decades and had patients as young as 18.

A complete autopsy is in the works, however, Tyndall’s attorney, Leonard Levine, told the Associated Press that there is no evidence of foul play or suicide.

Tyndall who was out on bail was expected to appear in court later this month to set a date for his trial.
