His past finally catching up with him, with authorities now demanding answers for years of "verbal, physical and sexual abuse" of the little girls who came to him to learn gymnastics, John Geddert pulled into a rest stop off Interstate 96 in mid-Michigan on Thursday afternoon.
Then he killed himself.
After all of this, after his old friend Larry Nassar was exposed and sent away, after tales of how his relentless coaching style at local Twistars Gymnastics sent some of his girls into shells of depression, after the state of Michigan finally indicted him on 24 counts earlier in the day, including allegedly lying to police in the Nassar investigation and an alleged sexual assault of his own, John Geddert chose to take his own life rather than defend it.
