James Miller

70 years old · died April 29, 2020 · Neuse Correctional Institution, Wayne County, North Carolina

James Miller, a 70-year-old Black man, died on April 29, 2020, while held at Neuse Correctional Institution in Goldsboro, North Carolina, according to records compiled by UCLA Law Behind Bars and attributed to the North Carolina Department of Adult Correction. A May 18, 2020 Carolina Public Press article reported that the prison had the state's largest COVID-19 outbreak at the time, with more than 460 people testing positive, and that three people had died of the disease there. That article does not name the three people or tie them to specific dates, so the cause of Mr. Miller's death is not established by these sources.

Cause of death, as reported: Died of illness
