Jurors in the case against Michael Brewer were not told of Frances Andrade's death until after they reached a verdict.
Brewer, 68, the former director of music at the world-renowned Chetham's school of music inManchester, was found guilty of five charges of indecently assaulting Andrade when she was 14 and 15 and a pupil at the school.
He was cleared on three further indecent assault charges and was found not guilty of raping Andrade when she was 18. His ex-wife, Hilary Kay Brewer, also 68, was found guilty of indecently assaulting Andrade when she was 18, but found not guilty of aiding and abetting rape.
The judge warned them to expect custodial sentences.
The Guardian has learned that Andrade, 48, texted a friend three days before her death to say she felt like she had been "raped all over again" after appearing in the witness box at Manchester crown court last month to face Brewer.
