Cause of Death Still Undetermined for Montco Pediatrician Found Dead in Prison

A cause of death has still not yet been released by authorities in the case of David Kennedy, the pediatrician charged with child porn who was found dead in the Montgomery County Correctional Facility just after his arrest.

More than a month has passed since authorities announced Kennedy's death on Dec. 19.

In their announcement of his death, authorities gave no indication if foul play had been involved or where in the prison he died.

Kennedy, 48, had been a physician with Personal Care Pediatrics in Pennsburg before he was arrested in November for allegedly possessing child pornography.

Kennedy allegedly had the explicit images on a phone that he gave to a nurse in his office to use for work, the DA said. The nurse was given the phone to handle after-hours calls for the pediatrician's office over the Thanksgiving holiday, according to authorities. When she discovered the sexually graphic photos of children and alerted authorities, the ensuing investigation revealed Kennedy as the culprit, authorities alleged.
