TL;DR

James Lewis, the only person convicted in connection with the Tylenol killings in Chicago, has been found dead in his home near Boston. Lewis, who was convicted of attempting to extort $1 million from Tylenol maker Johnson and Johnson in 1982, was considered the main suspect in the seven Tylenol murders but was never charged with the actual killings. Investigators had been looking into building a new murder case against him, but his death has halted those efforts.
