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.

What would have precluded him from having a firearm?
Point taken!! I will withhold judgement for the time being
Wow I heard sex crimes but not human trafficking. I think that is why Biden and his followers want illegals here in USA.... Sex slaves
gets her panties in a twist
In the case like this, I wonder the reason he killer himself, shame or told to do so by someone else ?
Our thoughts exactly. Guilty and didn’t look forward to prison. Perverts are mistreated in prison. Our friends’ only son, only child, went to prison about 20 years ago. DUI - drugs not alcohol. Killed a 14 year old girl and badly injured her 12 year old brother. Jeff was up for parole not long ago, but the girl’s mom helped him Jeff in prison till the end of his sentence. He was a young cute blonde kid. He looks horrible in his prison photo now. Looks so rough. His eyes look sad. I HOPE he can rehab his life and stop the DUI! I think he gets out soon. But prison is not a fun place for perverts or pretty boys.
We own many guns. A rifle. A shotgun. A nice array of hand guns. Love beer, but we don’t smoke. We started buying guns in the 1950s before you had to register them. Don’t tell BETO
Yeah. I don’t understand the trafficking charge...he forced them to work against their will? How?
Suicide is not an admission of guilt. In fact he may have derived certain benefits by not being tried. Look at the Aaron Hernandez case. Because he was not tried and found guilty will his record as a Olympic and National coach remain unsullied? Was his record more important than his life? Who knows. Will his estate remain intact? Will his family inherit more this way? Even had he won in court, his legal fees would have crushed him. As I said suicide may have been his best option guilty or not.
Probably guilty given USA Gymnastics culture and the apparent suicide, but given the whole Epstein rabbit hole, I’m open to other theories.
No
The Michigan AG is a NaziCommie.
The "law" is whatever she says it is in Occupied Michigan.
If you are referring to the report that Hernandez’s relatives would get some sort of money from the Patriots or the NFL because suicide voided his conviction and they had to honor his contract, that never happened.
Epstein didn’t kill himself.
Well best option assuming he didn't want to be alive anymore. Conventionally most people would take continuing to live while losing money or having records removed from the record books.
So, even from a purely materialist point-of-view it's an unusual choice.
And if one is a Christian, well the old-school Catholic Church teaching was that suicide was a mortal sin, a grave sin against God's will and would result in spending eternity in Hell. And to back this up suicides were not allowed a full Catholic burial, and some were even not allowed in the Catholic cemetery.
Of course, he may not have had any religious beliefs, or been part of some other religious tradition that is OK with suicide. (Not sure what that would be - perhaps Shinto, but he wasn't Japanese so he can't be Shinto because it's an ethnic religion not open to converts.)
What a way to go through life feeding your evil sinful desires only to have that evil destroy you twice (first death then second death).
I will not mourn for these evil people.
Seems like most of these charges are based on the “repressed memories’ of one woman in this Time article. I’m not wishing death on this guy based on what is thinly reported here.
