Christopher L. Miller
Christopher L. Miller died by hanging at the Camden County Correctional Facility in Camden County, New Jersey, in January 2005. The estate lawsuit, brought by Agnes E. Walls as administratrix of his estate, says staff ignored his repeated requests to be placed back in restraints to prevent self-harm. The lawsuit treats his death as a suicide. In July 2008 the county agreed to pay $400,000 in a settlement, which the article says included no admission of wrongdoing.
