Man indicted in Ulster County assisted suicide case

KINGSTON, N.Y. (NEWS10) -- An Arizona man was arraigned in Ulster County in connection to an assisted suicide case, according to the Ulster County District Attorney's Office. Stephen Miller, 85, of Tucson, was indicted for first-degree and second-degree assault and second-degree manslaughter.

The indictment stems from an incident back in November of 2023 where a person was found unresponsive at the Super 8 Motel in Kingston. Officers from the Kingston Police Department responding to the scene determined that the victim had died by assisted suicide.

The investigation into the death alleged that Miller traveled from Arizona and spent time with the victim shortly before their death. Miller was remanded to the Ulster County Jail after his hearing, with cash bail set at $500,000.
