https://www.cbsnews.com/philadelphia/news/kermit-gosnell-philadelphia-abortion-doctor-death/Kermit Gosnell, a controversial figure at the center of one of the nation's most disturbing criminal cases, has died.
Authorities say Gosnell, the former West Philadelphia doctor convicted of multiple counts of murder, died on March 1 while in custody.
Gosnell, who was 83, was serving multiple life sentences after a 2013 conviction tied to the deaths of infants born alive during illegal procedures, as well as the death of a patient.
A jury convicted Gosnell of three counts of first-degree murder for cutting the necks of babies born alive during illegal procedures, as well as involuntary manslaughter in the death of a woman who died during an abortion at his clinic and other charges related to violations at his clinic.
