Cape Town - The accuser in the second sexual assault charge against actor Kevin Spacey died suddenly, leading to the case being rejected by the court.
The Oscar winner faced sexual allegation charges brought by a male massage therapist, who was known to the public only under the pseudonym John Doe.
