Baughman, 63, of Newton, Massachusetts was the director of advanced heart disease at Brigham and Women’s Hospital. He was also a triathlete passionate about running, biking and swimming.

The Orlando area ranked as the most dangerous for pedestrians out of 52 cities of a million or more residents in a recent report released by Transportation for America.

Baughman served as director of the cardiology division at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Baltimore before joining Brigham and Women’s in 2002. 

“Ken was a physician’s physician, an exemplar of how you can lead and teach as a model to others,’’ said Dr. Myron Weisfeldt of  the cardiology department of Johns Hopkins.
