Former USA Gymnastics coach John Geddert was found dead Thursday afternoon after he was charged with human trafficking and sexual assault.

Geddert, who was 63, worked closely with Larry Nassar, a former USA Gymnastics trainer who sexually abused hundreds of young athletes under the guise of medical treatment for over three decades.

Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel confirmed in a Thursday statement that Geddert died by suicide.

My office has been notified that the body of John Geddert was found late this afternoon after taking his own life, Nessel wrote. This is a tragic end to a tragic story for everyone involved.
