JSO is now investigating the death, but does not yet know the exact cause.
As of Friday, officials said no foul play was expected, and he was not known to have gotten into any incidents with other inmates or correctional officers.
Miller was first sentenced to 120 days in the Duval County jail on February 26th of this year.
The punishment was for his 2023 arrest, where he was charged with possession of a gun or ammo by a convicted felon and discharging a gun in public.
He was out on bond from April 13th, 2023 until his sentencing.
JSO said it expects to have a clearer answer to the cause of death following an investigation and an autopsy by the Medical Examiner’s Office.
