The massacre -- in which Croats and non-Serbs were killed at a pig farm after the three-month siege of Vukovar by Serbian forces -- is considered one of the most serious atrocities committed in the violent break-up of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s.
Authorities announced on 8 March that one of the eight men due to stand trial for the killings had died at a prison hospital.
Officials said the suspect, Mirko Vojinovic, had died of injuries sustained two months ago when he jumped from a hospital window in what was described as a suicide attempt.
Officials said the death would not delay the start of the trial.
