LUMBERTON, NC – The death of Mica Miller, a 30-year-old woman from Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, is currently under investigation by authorities in North Carolina. Miller, the wife of Pastor John-Paul Miller, was found deceased in Lumber River State Park on April 27, approximately an hour’s drive from her home in Myrtle Beach.
While the cause of death has not been officially released by the authorities, John-Paul Miller informed his congregation that his wife had taken her own life after a long struggle with mental health. He shared that Mica had previously battled suicidal thoughts, but with medical intervention and support, she had managed to overcome these difficult periods.
An obituary for Mica Miller paints a picture of a vibrant woman, described as “energetic, adventurous, loving, giving, talented, and much more.” However, a peculiar line in the obituary has raised eyebrows among her loved ones. The obituary mentioned that Mica would often compliment her husband’s preaching skills, even if her praises were not entirely accurate.
Adding to the complexity of the situation, it was confirmed by the Horry County Clerk’s Office in South Carolina that Mica Miller had filed for “separate support and maintenance” three times since last year, with the most recent request submitted on April 16. This legal provision allows a spouse to receive court-ordered support without officially filing for divorce.
The untimely death of Mica has sent shockwaves through the Myrtle Beach community, with family and friends rallying on social media for “JusticeforMica.” Mica’s sister has urged people to disregard any false narratives about her sister, instead remembering Mica as a joyful, loving woman who did not deserve the abuse she had suffered.
