A Georgia father of five and director of a construction company who left missed from a business trip to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, before turning up dead in a vacant lot days later, had several different types of drugs in his system at the time of his death, according to the coroner.
Early on March 7, authorities found 42-year-old Nathan Millard dead, his body rolled in a rug, on a vacant lot near a closed funeral home Scenic highway in Baton Rouge – about a seven-minute drive from where he was last seen with a customer at Happy’s Irish Pub downtown on February 23.
Millard had fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol in his system at the time of his death, said East Baton Rouge community coroner Dr. William “Beau” Clark, in a press release.
