The article isn't actually specific on this. They mention death threats but don't quote any. (I'm betting Mr Filardi didn't keep a scrapbook of death threats, and with his facebook account gone the record is gone too.) Given the number of people involved in the tendency of people social media presume they are immune from consequences, I feel really confident that dozens of people made comments that went over the line and would be clear prosecution cases. But if we as a society wanted to we could have a lawyer comb through all the comments sent to people that are victims of online mobs and pick out the ones that constitute real prosecutable things.
