ENGLEWOOD, N.J. (AP) - John K. Lattimer, a world-renowned urologist who treated celebrities, cultural icons and top-ranking Nazis during the Nuremberg war crimes trials, has died. He was 92.
Lattimer, who died Thursday at a hospice near his home in Englewood, helped establish the discipline of pediatric urology and developed a cure for renal tuberculosis. His daughter announced his death.
For 25 years, he was a professor and chairman of the urology department at the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Columbia University in New York, where he also received his medical degree.
