    Default Defandant in an Assault Case Commits Suicide Before Court Date, What Next?

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland

    So about a month ago, my friend was drunk and he decided to beat me up, a good close friend. I told him he would have to give me some money for me to deal with it, or else i'd contact authorities. This isnt the first time he's attacked me when he was drunk, so when he decided not to give up some cash, I went and filed an assault report.

    His girlfriend, roomate, and two other girls were there who witnessed the attack. They all told him to stop and they helped control his drunken rage. After that day I decided he wasnt a friend anymore.

    Fast forward two weeks, I get news from a friend that he shot himself! I talked to his girlfriend and it's confirmed. His facebook is now a memorial page

    What happens now? The only evidence I've got is a voice recording of a phone conversation where he admits that he got mad over something I said. (we were having a non hostile debate). I haven't even gotten the court date letter in the mail yet and no one has called me. How long is that stuff supposed to take?
