McPHERSON, Kan. — An autopsy report shows that the death of a McPherson man found on a sidewalk was suicide.
The Regional Forensics Science Center in Wichita announced its findings in the death of Ernest Miller.
The report says the 26-year-old committed suicide by “asphyxia” and blunt trauma.
Miller was found the morning of March 27 after McPherson Police officers responded to the 400 block of West Woodside Street for a report of a body on the sidewalk. Miller was found with a bag over his head and a belt around his neck.
Rob McClarty of the McPherson Police Department says that after a thorough investigation, including both forensics testing and over 60 interviews, there is no evidence to support any criminal charges.
