Sept 20 (Reuters) - AdaptHealth AHCO.O said on
Wednesday the company and recently appointed CEO Crispin Teufel
mutually agreed to terminate Teufel's employment contract.
The company had appointed Teufel as CEO in June, but he was
sued in August by former employer Linde LIN.DE , which was
seeking to block his appointment for an unspecified time.
AdaptHealth said its Chairman Richard Barasch will continue
to serve as interim CEO until a successor has been appointed.
