John Geddert, a former USA Gymnastics coach who was charged with sex crimes and human trafficking Thursday, has died by suicide, according to multiple reports.

Geddert, 63, died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound Thursday afternoon, Michigan state officials told local news station WLNS.

The Attorney General’s Office, which had just announced the charges at a news conference, did not immediately return a request for information.

This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

If he was charged with sex crimes and trafficking today, how did he have a gun? Was this a catch and release?

I just heard a preacher say that more and more evil is going to be revealed all over the country. We have been praying that it would be.

John Geddert, a former USA Gymnastics coach who was charged with sex crimes and human trafficking

1. Charged
2. Pleads Guilty by his actions
3. Sentenced to death by his actions
4. Self Executes

I don’t see a problem

Think it possible that he didn’t fess up about all his weapons ... being an honorable and upstanding citizen?

“In 2013, Geddert was under criminal investigation for his abusive treatment of gymnasts. The Eaton County Prosecutor’s office stated there was enough evidence to charge Geddert, but allowed Geddert to seek counseling instead.”
