A decorated U.S. Navy veteran died by suicide outside the Audie L. Murphy Memorial Veterans Hospital earlier this week.
Mark Miller, 54, killed himself on Monday afternoon outside the front doors of the hospital.
Steve Troudt, a chaplain with American Legion Post 300 who was a friend of Miller’s, said the veteran felt neglected.
“My heart dropped because it was so unexpected,” Troudt said. “But he was so let down by the Veteran Health Administration and the military system.”
