That roommate, Tyler Clementi, committed suicide by jumping off the George Washington Bridge three days after learning his encounter was seen online. Ravi was not charged with Clementi's death, and the jury was not told that he had killed himself; they were sequestered so as not to be prejudiced by the formation.
The case has put the issue of cyber-bullying into the national spotlight. Ravi faces a possible 10 years in prison in relation to his hate crime conviction... it is unclear at this point if the State will now seek a further conviction on charges related to Clementi's death.
