Brandon Miller Suicide – In his last moments, Brandon Miller told his wife the truth about their financial missteps, but not before his debt of several millions had swallowed him whole.
That’s in line with a story from The New York Times, which this week exposed the extent of Miller’s financial difficulties before to his June 30 suicide in the garage of his $8 million Hamptons mansion.
Miller, 43, was a struggling real estate tycoon who was married to Candice Miller, a mother blogger and lifestyle influencer with nearly 100,000 Instagram followers who shared daily content under the account “Mama & Tata.”
Fans of the family envied the lifestyle they led. Candice, 42, frequently traveled between opulent resorts with her two girls in tow and lauded the advantages of her weekly $800 facials.
She hosted parties at their waterfront house and aboard their boat, MillerTime, when they were in New York. While Candice flaunted the good life, Miller was allegedly fighting off creditors and severing friendships after years of struggling to scrape together enough money to pay off his mountain of debt and maintain their house.
According to The Times, Miller kept his debt from Candice for many years; she didn’t find out about their financial situation until a lender called her cell phone and informed her straight that their family was “broke” in May.
Even so, she continued to live the way she did after Miller apparently claimed he had everything under control. However, Miller’s world collapsed in late June when a crucial real estate transaction went awry.
At the time, Candice was on vacation with his girls in Italy, taking advantage of a trip designed specifically for Instagram, which he persuaded them to take while he closed a transaction to straighten out their finances.
According to The Times, Miller persisted in lying to Candice even in his last days, telling her that the botched sale had gone through and that their financial load had been lessened. In actuality, as Candice’s credit cards started to decline overseas, he was frantically trying to get a loan for as little as $1,000. Miller admitted to the Times that he had written a suicide letter before ending his life, in which he said that his desire to live had genuinely failed along with a crucial business agreement.
