(Lansing, MI) -- A former Olympic gymnastics coach is dead hours after being charged with sex crimes in Michigan.
John Geddert was supposed to surrender Thursday at a sheriff's office but never showed up. The state attorney general says he took his own life, adding it's a "tragic end to a tragic story for everyone involved."
Geddert owns a local gymnastics club and worked closely with former Team USA doctor Larry Nassar, now a convicted sex offender.
