TRACKING___James Goodrich, an American pediatric neurosurgeon famed for his method of separating conjoined twins, has died from coronavirus-related complications.
Montefiore Einstein, the New York medical community, wherein he worked, said the renowned doctor died on Monday shortly after he had battled with the deadly virus.
While describing Goodrich as a “humble and truly caring man,” the hospital said his death comes as a “heart-breaking and sudden loss” and that he would remain foremost in the thoughts of many.
“Dr. Goodrich passed away on March 30, 2020, from complications associated with COVID19. He is survived by his wife and three sisters. Our condolences go out to his family,” Montefiore said.

“Throughout his career, he became known as the world’s leading expert on this life-saving procedure.”
