The Army says the death last summer of an ROTC cadet from Gowanda during a night training exercise at Fort Lewis, Wash., was a suicide.

Daniel N. Miller, 19, who was a student at Houghton College and a member of the ROTC unit at St. Bonaventure University, hanged himself in the woods of the Army post, according to Army Cadet Command spokesman Lt. Col. Michael Indovina.

Miller’s body was discovered July 9, less than seven hours after he was reported missing.

The Army Criminal Investigation Command conducted the investigation and has provided Miller’s family a copy of the report. Miller was one of about 5,000 cadets at Fort Lewis for the annual course that leads to commissioning as a second lieutenant.
