If the accuser dies before a court case is resolved, the case may still proceed, depending on the circumstances and the type of case. In criminal cases, the state typically continues the prosecution, as the government represents the public's interest. In civil cases, the claim may be passed to the accuser's estate or heirs, who can choose to continue or discontinue the case. However, the specific laws and procedures can vary by jurisdiction.

If you are referring to Richard Jewel who was accused during the Olympic bombings - then he went on to be a deputy after being cleared of the charges.
