A Georgia father of five and director at a construction firm who went missing from a business trip in Baton Rouge before he turned up dead in a vacant lot days later had several different kinds of drugs in his system at the time he died, according to the coroner.
Early on March 7, authorities found 42-year-old Nathan Millard dead, his body rolled up in a carpet, in a vacant lot near a closed funeral home off Scenic Highway in Baton Rouge — about a seven-minute drive from where he was last seen on Feb. 23 at Happy’s Irish Pub downtown with a client.
Millard had fentanyl, cocaine and alcohol in his system at his time of death, East Baton Rouge Parish coroner Dr. William “Beau” Clark said in a press release.
Clark listed Millard’s cause of death as fentanyl combined with cocaine and alcohol and marked his manner of death as accidental.

Millard had been in Baton Rouge on Feb. 23 to meet with a client at an LSU game and then headed to Happy’s afterward. Around 11:30 p.m., Millard left Happy’s to return to his hotel room but never made it back.
He was found dead nearly two weeks later. Clark said Millard had “[n]o evidence of internal or external trauma” after his death.
