The Daily Express reported that jury deliberations for the trial of Tyler Anderson, 30, began on June 25. They were set to continue two days later on June 27, but prosecutors filed a motion to dismiss the case as the defendant was already dead.
Anderson, a resident of the city of Dover in the Granite State, was accused of sending threatening text messages to the campaigns of entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie last year. The three candidates challenged former President Donald Trump for the Republican presidential nomination, but were all unsuccessful. The defendant's lawyer did not immediately respond to email and phone messages seeking comment.

The office of the U.S. attorney for New Hampshire said Anderson allegedly threatened to "impale" and "disembowel" one presidential candidate in a November text message. The following month, Anderson threatened a second candidate that he would "blow" their head off in a "mass shooting." Still in December, the 30-year-old threatened a third candidate that he would "blow [their] brains out" and "kill everyone" who would attend an upcoming campaign event.
A federal grand jury indicted Anderson in December on three counts of sending a threat using interstate commerce. Each charge provides for a sentence of up to five years in prison, up to three years of supervised release, and a fine of up to $250,000.

Authorities arrested him on Dec. 9 and he was released on Dec. 14, but not without a federal judge setting forth several conditions for his release. The judge ordered him to avoid contact with any presidential candidate and their political campaigns. Anderson, who was receiving mental health treatment, was also ordered to take all of his prescribed medications.
Law enforcement discovers Anderson's unexplained demise
Members of the Concord Police Department (CPD) in New Hampshire were asked to help look for Anderson after he failed to show up for court. He was eventually located inside a car in a garage at Concord Hospital at about 8:30 p.m., according to CPD Deputy Chief John Thomas.
When Anderson was arrested, a spokesperson for Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said the texts were directed at his campaign. The defendant had told the FBI in an interview that he sent similar texts to "multiple other campaigns," according to a court document.
According to court documents, Anderson had received a text message from Ramaswamy’s campaign notifying him of a breakfast event in Portsmouth.
The campaign staff got two text messages in response. One threatened to shoot the candidate in the head, and the other threatened to kill everyone at the event and desecrate their corpses. The charges say similar texts were sent to two different candidates before the Ramaswamy messages, on Nov. 22 and Dec. 6.
A court document filed when Anderson was arrested included a screenshot of texts from Dec. 6, threatening a mass shooting in response to an invitation to see Christie.
