LeRoy Carhart, a prominent and controversial doctor well known for providing late-term abortions, has died at the age of 81.
His family, who announced the news via social media, said he died on Friday but did not give a cause of death.
"Dr. Carhart will be deeply missed by family, friends, colleagues, and patients," his daughter Janine Weatherby said in a Facebook post. "Lee had a very simple belief that patients know what is best for their life plan and was there to support them."
