Charles Wright, a former teacher convicted of murder and sexual assault, died in custody before his sentencing, leaving his pending conviction unresolved.
Wright was found unresponsive after spending months in a medical ward; authorities suspect no foul play and await an autopsy report.
Prosecutors indicated that Wright faced a 50-year to life sentence for 'particularly egregious' crimes committed by someone in a position of authority.
Cold-case evidence linking Wright to a 2005 murder was reopened for forensic testing, leading to his arrest nearly two decades later.
