Loved ones of a pastor’s wife who was found dead in a North Carolina state park with a bullet wound to her head are not convinced she died by suicide, as her husband claims.

Instead, they’re pressing authorities to probe Mica Miller’s death as something potentially more sinister—especially after her husband’s announcement of her death a day after her body was found did little to quell rumors about the tragedy.

“This has to be at least looked into deeply,” Kenn Young, Mica Miller’s friend, told WPDE. “There’s got to be some accountability here, because yeah, a tragic life was lost, and it’s not just as simple as mental health issues.”

Miller’s body was found Saturday in Lumber River State Park, about 70 miles north of the Solid Rock Church at Market Common in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, where an obituary said she was a worship leader, graphic designer, youth leader, women’s ministry leader, and an assistant to her husband, John-Paul Miller.

On Sunday, the pastor delivered an entire sermon as usual before revealing the shock news of his wife’s passing. He told his congregation Sunday that her death was “self-induced” and that she “wasn’t well mentally” and was in need of medicine that was “hard to get to her.” He never mentioned Mica Miller by name.

“I got a call late last night, my wife has passed away,” he said. “It was self-induced and it was up in North Carolina.” (Yahoo News)
