James Patrick Connaughton, M.D., professor emeritus of psychiatry and pediatrics, a superbly talented clinician who treated and cared for some of East Baltimore’s most vulnerable children, died on Sept. 11 at the age of 80. Connaughton passed away at his Woodbrook home. The cause of death was pancreatic cancer, for which Connaughton was treated at the Johns Hopkins Sidney Kimmel Comprehensive Cancer Center where he received outstanding medical care, family members say.
