Los Angeles prosecutors have rejected a sexual battery case against Kevin Spacey because the accuser has died.

The Los Angeles County District Attorney's office announced the decision Tuesday.

The case stemmed from a masseur's allegations that Spacey inappropriately touched him during a massage session at a home in Malibu, California, in October 2016.

The decision states that the allegations against Spacey could not be proven without the masseur's participation.

The man also sued Spacey under the alias John Doe in a case that remains pending in federal court.

An email sent to Spacey's lawyer Alan Jackson was not immediately returned.

Massachusetts prosecutors in July dropped a criminal case against Spacey involving an indecent assault and battery charge.

The charge was filed last year after Spacey was accused of groping an 18-year-old man at a bar on the resort island of Nantucket in 2016.

In that case, Spacey's accuser invoked his Fifth Amendment right not to testify about text messages from the night of the alleged groping that the defense claimed were deleted.

Police in London are also investigating allegations of sexual misconduct by Spacey, but there's been no public update on that inquiry.

The Metropolitan Police are investigating six claims of sexual assault and assault against Spacey, who ran London's Old Vic Theatre between 2004 and 2015.

British police traveled to the U.S. in May to interview Spacey about sexual assault allegations.

Without naming Spacey, the London force said that 'a man was voluntarily interviewed under caution in America by officers from the Met's Complex Case Team. He was not arrested. Inquiries are ongoing'.

Under caution means the interview was recorded and can be used in future prosecutions. British police don't identify suspects until they have been charged.

The slew of accusations against Spacey led to his firing from 'House of Cards' and his removal from the completed movie 'All the Money in the World,' which was reshot with actor Christopher Plummer.
