And the prosecutors were planning to drop his case.

They way I read it, he had just rejected a plea deal offer. Probly wanted to take it to trial.

They dropped the case because he's dead (standard procedure).

Thanks for correction.

I can’t stand much more of this. He would likely be still alive. Or at least could have departed at home or at least with his loved ones around.

The criminals have to pay for their crimes. That is the only solace.
