abate / abandon the case(The Kelowna man accused of a hit-and-run on a cyclist has died. Harry McClusky, 59, was due in court on Jan. 3 to hear the judge's ruling following his trial for failing to stop at the scene of an accident involving bodily harm. The hit-and-run occurred on April 21 last year. Police discovered McClusky's body in his home on Dec. 25. Police say the death is not considered suspicious. When an accused dies before the conclusion of a trial, typically the Crown "abates" or abandons the case.ART Vancouver)
