Mr. Miller had been hospitalized for unspecified “medical issues” and died of natural causes, authorities said.

He was transferred to a psychiatric hospital shortly after he was booked in May at the Paulding County jail, and then was transferred to another hospital Sept. 15 because of other health issues, the sheriff said.
