A man who was wrongfully convicted in the murder investigation of Melvin ""Chi-Chi""Peters in 1975 has died.
Erin Walsh passed away on Monday in Kingston, Ontario at the age of 62.
Walsh's 1975 conviction was overturned by the Provincial Court of Appeal in 2008.
He was suing the province, City Police and William McCarroll, a sitting judge who was the Crown prosecutor at the time, for compensation.
In 2009, Walsh reached an out of court settlement but no dollar figure was ever dis-closed.
He was looking for compensation of fifty million dollars.
The funeral for Walsh will be held tomorrow in Ontario.
