Army: ROTC cadet death was suicide

FORT LEWIS, Wash. (AP) - The Army says the death of an ROTC cadet in a night training exercise at Fort Lewis last summer was a suicide.

U.S. Army Cadet Command spokesman Lt. Col. Michael Indovina said Tuesday that 19-year-old Daniel N. Miller of St. Bonaventure University in New York, hanged himself in the woods of the Army post.

The Army Criminal Investigation Command conducted the investigation and has provided Miller report.

The News Tribune of Tacoma reports Miller was one of about 5,000 cadets at Fort Lewis for the annual course that leads to commissioning as a second lieutenant.

Miller was reported missing in the early morning hours of July 9. His body was found after a seven-hour search.
