Prime Suspect in 1982 Tylenol Murders Found Dead

James W. Lewis, the prime suspect in the 1982 Tylenol murders, where seven people died from cyanide-laced Tylenol, has died at the age of 76. Although never charged with the murders, Lewis was convicted of extortion after demanding $1 million from Johnson & Johnson to "stop the killing." He spent over four decades under scrutiny but denied any involvement. The case remains unsolved, and investigations are ongoing. The Tylenol murders led to nationwide fear and prompted changes in medication packaging, with Johnson & Johnson implementing tamper-resistant measures.
