The tragic death of Mica Miller, the wife of a pastor in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, has been revealed to have been caused by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to the Robeson County Medical Examiner. The investigation into her death is ongoing. The report detailed that the wound was not in the back of the head, as had been speculated. The Robeson County Sheriff’s Office has acknowledged the medical examiner’s findings and scheduled a meeting with Miller’s family to provide more detailed information regarding the case.
Prior to the medical examiner’s report, Miller’s husband and pastor of their church, John-Paul, had informed the congregation that his wife had died by suicide and had been battling mental health issues for several years. Reports released by the Horry County Sheriff’s Office revealed incidents of harassment leading up to Miller’s death, with reports of a razor blade being placed in her tire and suspicions of being followed or watched. Despite these incidents, there was not enough evidence to prove that the suspect had placed the razor device under the tire. Miller also reported receiving threatening calls and finding a tracking device on her vehicle.
The Horry County Clerk’s Office confirmed that Miller had filed multiple support requests in the past year, indicating potential marital issues. In light of the tragic event, Miller’s family and friends have been advocating for justice for Mica, urging those who are sharing false stories about her to reconsider and reach out to the family for clarification. The Solid Rock Church where Pastor John-Paul served announced that he had been released from his ministerial functions for a period of healing, counsel, and guidance following the incident. The church’s website was also suspended amid the ongoing investigation.
The community in Myrtle Beach has been deeply affected by Mica Miller’s death, with her loved ones seeking closure and justice for her memory. The case serves as a tragic reminder of the importance of mental health awareness and support for those struggling. The Sheriff’s Office is expected to release further information regarding the investigation, urging the public to refrain from making assumptions and conclusions until all the details have been reviewed. The situation underscores the devastating impact of suicide and the need for compassion and understanding towards those facing mental health challenges.
