Real estate mogul Brandon Miller’s suicide note reveals why he killed himself

The husband of a New York City influencer explained why he committed suicide in a heartbreaking suicide note.

Real estate mogul Brandon Miller committed suicide last month in the $15.5 million Hamptons home he shared with wife Candice amid mounting financial problems.

In a suicide note, Miller explained that a last-minute, all-or-nothing deal had fallen through and he felt he could no longer get out of it.

The New York Times reports that Miller also described two life insurance policies that could be used to pay off creditors.

Miller committed suicide by inhaling exhaust fumes while his Candice was touring Europe with their two daughters.

Miller, 43, waited until his family was on a week-long luxury vacation before getting into his car and running the engine until the garage was filled with toxic gasoline.

A wealthy friend arranged for 42-year-old Candice and her two daughters to fly back to the US on a private jet.

They arrived in time to say goodbye before Miller was taken off life support at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and pronounced dead on July 3, a source close to the scene said.

“They are wonderful, sweet girls who loved their father so much. This is absolutely devastating for all of them,” the source added.

In the years leading up to his death, Miller struggled to maintain the lavish lifestyle he and his wife led.

The couple had already had to sell their house in TriBeCa and were now renting a house on the Upper East Side for $47,000 a month, to keep up appearances.

Before his death, Miller had amassed enormous debts and taken out several loans against the Hamptons home

At the time of his suicide, Miller was estimated to have owed approximately $17 million.

He was sued for at least $221,000 in various defaults and had taken out a series of multimillion-dollar loans from the Hamptons’ estate.

Interior Marketing Group Inc. sued Miller in April, alleging he failed to pay $102,730.27 for luxury furniture services, according to a report Page Six.

In the same lawsuit, Miller is accused of refusing to return more than $64,000 worth of furniture from their Manhattan apartment.

In another lawsuit filed against Miller in May, Lighthouse Marina alleges he failed to pay his outstanding balance for services on his boat, called MillerTime, which had been docked at the Long Island marina since October 2020.

The marina alleges that Miller never “responded to or acknowledged” an October 2022 notice informing him he owed nearly $40,000. Miller’s alleged debt eventually grew to $55,205.76, according to the legal filing.

Sources told the New York Times that Miller began openly crying during business meetings as he struggled with mounting financial pressure.

In a suicide note, Miller explained that a last-minute, all-or-nothing deal had fallen through, leaving him feeling like he could no longer get out.

He was found unconscious in the garage of the couple’s $15.5 million Hamptons home, which is now for sale.

By the time his wife left for Europe, Miller was scrambling to arrange a $1,000 loan, a minuscule amount compared to the sums he normally worked with.

Friends said Miller encouraged his wife to go on vacation, assuring her everything was paid for.

However, upon arrival, her credit card was declined and the family’s travel agent had to cover her expenses, sources said.

Meanwhile, Miller was reportedly at home trying to close a deal that could turn the tide, but unfortunately it failed.

Candice Miller has listed her Water Mill home for $15.495 million and is reportedly moving to Miami with her children before the start of the new school year.
