Man on trial for threatening to kill presidential candidates found dead as jury was deciding verdict

    In the doghouse: A member of Santa Fe’s K-9 unit is the focus of an internal affairs investigation

    CONCORD, N.H. — A New Hampshire man who stood trial last year for threatening the lives of presidential candidates was found dead as a jury determined his verdict, court documents show.

    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 attorney was not immediately returned. A court filing stated that “the government has learned that the suspect has died.”

    Anderson had been indicted by a federal grand jury in December on three counts of transmitting a threat through interstate commerce.

    The U.S. Attorney’s Office did not name the candidates. When Anderson was arrested, he was a spokesperson for the Republican candidate Vivek Ramaswamy said the lyrics were aimed at his campaign.
