Baltimore: Gynecologist Nikita Levy Found Dead from Apparent Suicide

TOWSON, Md. (AP) – A former Johns Hopkins Hospital gynecologist suspected of secretly recording patients has been found dead at his Towson home.

Police say 54-year-old Dr. Nikita Levy is believed to have committed suicide.

Johns Hopkins officials said in a statement that they began investigating Levy earlier this month after an employee reported that he had been using personal equipment to take pictures and videos of his patients. Levy was suspended and police were notified. Hospital officials say Levy acknowledged his conduct and was fired on Feb. 8.
