No. They cannot 'technically' be 'convicted, since they can't defend themselves in court. however, if all evidence leads to the reasonable belief that it was he that committed the offense, the case can be 'closed' by his death.

No, a dead person cannot be convicted of a crime because a criminal conviction requires the accused to be alive in order to stand trial and defend themselves. Once a person is deceased, the criminal justice system cannot proceed with a trial or sentence against them.
