NH Man Charged With Threatening Vivek Ramaswamy And Chris Christie Found Dead As Trial Jury Deliberates

The Associated Press reports:

A New Hampshire man charged with threatening the lives of presidential candidates last year has been found dead while a jury was deciding his verdict, according to court filings Thursday.

The jury began weighing the case against Tyler Anderson, 30, of Dover on Tuesday after a trial that began Monday. A message seeking comment from Anderson’s lawyer was not immediately returned. A court filing said “the government has learned that the defendant is deceased.”

Anderson was indicted by a federal grand jury in December on three counts of sending a threat using interstate commerce. When Anderson was arrested, a spokesperson for Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said that texts were directed at his campaign.
