Attorney General’s Office Concludes Investigation Into the
Death of Heather Miller
SALT LAKE CITY April 26, 2017 – The Utah Attorney General’s Office has concluded its
investigation of the death as a result of an incident that occurred while housed at the
Davis County Jail. In accordance with established law enforcement protocols, this
matter was referred to the Attorney General’s Office to complete the investigation and
consider criminal charges.
Upon completion of the thorough investigation and in cooperation with Weber County
Sheriff’s Office, the matter was presented to the Attorney General's Office Justice
Division’s Special Prosecution Section which determined Ms. Miller’s death was not the
result of criminal conduct. The applicable standard for a prosecutor to apply to the
evidence gathered in an investigation is whether there is a reasonable likelihood of
conviction at trial.
Whenever a life is lost it is a tragedy and we recognize the impact is felt by many. The
Attorney General’s Office extends its sincere sympathies to the family of Ms. Miller for
her passing.
