Kermit Gosnell, a Philadelphia doctor found guilty in 2013 of murdering three babies born alive in an abortion clinic, has died at the age of 85.

Pennsylvania Department of Corrections spokesperson Maria Bivens told The Associated Press that Gosnell died March 1 at a hospital outside the prison system. He had most recently been incarcerated at the State Correctional Institution-Smithfield, about 60 miles south of Pittsburgh. A cause of death was not disclosed.

Gosnell’s grimy West Philadelphia clinic became known as the “house of horrors.” He was serving multiple life sentences at the time of his death.

Former employees testified that Gosnell routinely performed illegal abortions past Pennsylvania’s 24-week limit, that he delivered babies who were still moving, whimpering or breathing, and that he and his assistants dispatched the newborns by “snipping” their spines, as he referred to it, according to the AP.

In addition to three counts of first-degree murder, Gosnell also was convicted of running a prescription pill operation out of the clinic.

“Gosnell pleaded guilty to conspiracy to distribute controlled substances, including oxycodone, alprazolam, and codeine; distribution and aiding and abetting the distribution of oxycodone; and maintaining a place for the illegal distribution of controlled substances,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania said in July 2013.

“Gosnell went from writing several hundred prescriptions for controlled substances per month filled at pharmacies in 2008 to over 2,300 filled at pharmacies in January of 2010,” it added. “Gosnell charged from $115.00 to $150.00, with a follow up visit fee of $50.00 and a $20 fee for refills of controlled substances for cash paying customers.”

Conditions at his clinic became known during a 2010 investigation of prescription drug trafficking.

Investigators described a foul-smelling place with bags and bottles of fetuses and jars of body parts, along with bloodstained furniture and dirty medical instruments.

Gosnell did not testify at his 2013 trial, but his defense attorney argued that none of the fetuses were born alive and that any movements were posthumous twitching or spasms, according to the AP.

Tiger Woods’ future, both within and outside the game of golf, is an uncertainty at this point following his March DUI arrest, but U.S. Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk wouldn’t mind putting something on the big cat’s calendar.

Woods was involved in a two-car accident on Jupiter Island, Florida, on March 27 and charged with two misdemeanors: DUI with property damage and refusal to submit to a lawful test. The 15-time major winner cleared 0.00 results on both breathalyzer samples he provided, but his refusal to submit to a urine test resulted in him being charged.

Woods was previously arrested in May 2017 on charges of driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs after he was found asleep in his car.

Four days after the accident and subsequent arrest, Woods announced that he would be stepping away from golf to “seek treatment and focus on my health.” He was granted permission to travel outside the United States to begin treatment.

Speaking ahead of this week’s PGA Championship at Aronimink Golf Club, Furyk admitted that he had not talked to Woods since his March arrest, but made it clear he’d have a spot on his 2027 Ryder Cup staff.

“We haven’t spoken yet. I think, out of kind of courtesy for him and his family and I know maybe a road to health, I haven’t reached out, but I will,” Furyk explained.

“Definitely. We’ll see where that role may fall,” Furyk continued when asked if he anticipated having a role on the staff for Woods. “I will say I enjoyed serving – I use that word serving – as a vice-captain with him a number of times. I think he brought a lot to the team room and a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience.”

JIM FURYK SHARES THE ONE REASON HE CHOSE TO ACCEPT U.S. RYDER CUP CAPTAINCY

Woods was the presumed favorite to take on the role of U.S. Ryder Cup captain in 2025 at Bethpage Black, but reportedly declined the opportunity. He was also on the list of names who could serve as captain for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor in Ireland, but his accident and arrest forced the PGA of America to go a different route, and one that led to Furyk being named captain.

Furyk was the captain of the U.S. side during the 2018 Ryder Cup, one that quickly turned into a nightmare for the Americans, who ultimately lost to Team Europe 17.5-10.5.

Not only will Furyk look to put the 2018 mess in the rearview mirror, but he’ll also be looking to lead the Americans to their first Ryder Cup victory on foreign soil since 1993.

The 2027 Ryder Cup will begin on Sept. 17.
