BARNSTABLE, Mass. -- A gynecologist has been indicted for manslaughter in the death of a 22-year-old woman who went to him for an abortion.
Cape & Island District Attorney Michael O'Keefe said Wednesday that Dr. Rapin Osathanondh was indicted by a Barnstable County grand jury in the death of Laura Hope Smith.
Smith was pronounced dead at Cape Cod Hospital after going to Osathanondh's Hyannis office for an abortion on Sept 13. Her mother has said Smith was 13 weeks pregnant when she had the abortion.
Smith's mother filed a complaint about the doctor with the state medical board. Osathanondh resigned his medical license in February after he came under scrutiny in Smith's death.
