A Kansas man wrongfully accused of opening fire at a rally celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory last year has died, his lawyer confirmed to Fox News Digital. 

Denton Loudermill Jr., of Olathe, who was also accused of being an “illegal alien,” was found dead Friday morning by his family, FOX 4 Kansas City reports. He was briefly handcuffed but never charged in the chaos following the deadly shooting.

Loudermill later filed lawsuits against three Republican Missouri state senators and a Tennessee congressman who shared social media posts that falsely implicated him. Those cases were all dismissed, largely on jurisdictional issues, The Associated Press reports.

His death was confirmed by attorney Arthur Benson. Another attorney, LaRonna Lassister Saunders, did not immediately get back to Fox News Digital.
