The family of a South Carolina pastor’s wife is calling for an investigation following his sudden death just six months after she filed for divorce.
According to the New York Post, Mica Miller, 30, suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head. She was discovered at Lumber River State Park in Lumberton, North Carolina, on April 27.
Mica’s family and friends became suspicious of her husband John-Paul Miller, pastor of Solid Rock Church in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, when he announced her death during a recent service. She had previously asked the congregation not to talk about his death within the church.
“I got a call last night, my wife passed away,” he told the congregation. He was self-induced and occurred in North Carolina. Everyone pray for me, for my children and for everyone. You all know that she was not well mentally and she needed medication that was difficult to get. “I’m sure there will be more details to come, but please keep his family in your prayers.”
Following the South Carolina pastor’s statement, Mica’s family admitted to being baffled by his sudden death and urged authorities to investigate the situation “deeply.”
“This has to at least be analyzed in depth,” said Kenn Young, who is close to Mica. “Because yes, a tragic life was lost and it’s not as simple as mental health issues.”
Maj. Damien McLean of the Robeson County Sheriff’s Office also said the department was investigating Mica’s death. “Officers are in the process of gathering information from people in South and North Carolina as part of their investigation into how Miller died.”
McLean also said there was no indication that the community near Lumber River State Park was in danger.
South Carolina pastor John-Paul Miller said his recently deceased wife Mica had ‘struggled with suicide’ before
During a recent interview with WPDE, South Carolina pastor John-Paul Miller stated that his recently deceased wife Mica had struggled with suicide before her sudden passing.
“Each time we help her get over it and take her to the doctor,” he explained. “And we got through it and everything was fine. She even gave some testimonies here in the church that we have on video. She struggled with suicide, but God took care of her and helped her get through it.”
The South Carolina pastor further claimed that he and Mica “spent every night together for hours talking and talking and talking.”
Mica previously filed for support from John-Paul in October 2023. However, the case was dismissed in February 2024. However, John-Paul filed for “separate support and support a few days later.” Mica also requested “separation and support, with a hearing scheduled for June 5. They were still legally married when Mica died.
Mica and John-Paul married in 2017. John-Paul was previously married and has five children with his first wife.
While using the hashtag #JUSTICEFORMICA, Mica’s family revealed that there was a “no contact order and divorce was filed” days before Mica’s alleged suicide.
Mica’s sister, Sierra, asked the public not to listen to false stories being shared. “Mica was a loving, joyful, God-fearing woman who did not deserve the abuse she suffered.”
Sierra added that anyone with information should contact his family. “If you hear anything about this from anyone other than your family, please ask, contact your siblings or your parents. Please keep our family in your prayers and if you have any information that needs to be shared, please contact one of us. Please respect us at this time and honor his memory with joy because he no longer suffers.”
