A case has been dropped against a man accused of harassing the former West Midlands Fire Service chief, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has confirmed.
Benjamin Walker had been charged with the harassment of Wayne Brown.
Mr Brown was found dead a day after the service announced that he was under investigation over claims made on social media about his qualifications for the role.
"We have concluded that there is no longer a realistic prospect of conviction and therefore discontinued the case," said a CPS spokesperson.
"Our thoughts remain with the family of Wayne Brown following his tragic death last year.
"Mr Brown's family have been informed, and we have met with them to discuss our decision."
