Park Tudor's Head Master Dies Unexpectedly

DEATH NOW CONFIRMED AS SUICIDE
Just weeks after law enforcement served warrants on Park Tudor Academy in connection with a child pornography investigation, the headmaster of the prestigious private school has unexpectedly died. A source tells Advance Indiana that the school sent out an e-mail earlier this evening announcing the death of Dr. Matthew Miller, 46, who had served as the school's headmaster since 2011. The statement read:

“The entire Park Tudor community is deeply saddened by this sudden loss,” the statement read. “We ask that you keep Dr. Miller’s family, our students and our community in your thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.”

The cause of Dr. Miller's death was not disclosed in the e-mail. Advance Indiana has been able to determine that a 911 call was made at 11:55 a.m. for a report of an attempted suicide at a residence located at 444 Pennridge Drive in Meridian Hills. Tax records show that residential estate is owned by the Park Tudor Foundation. The residence is located adjacent to the school's grounds.

Park Tudor's highly-successful boys basketball coach, Kyle Cox, shocked many observers when he abruptly resigned his position with the school during the middle of the season last December. When a team of federal, state and local law enforcement executed a search warrant at the school on January 7, law enforcement sources confirmed they were seeking information on the school's former basketball coach. Rumors began circulating that someone had attempted to erase information found on computer hard drives at the school before law enforcement executed the search warrant. Park Tudor is viewed as the most exclusive and costly private school to attend in the state of Indiana.

Jennifer Wagner, a Park Tudor alumnus and owner of Mass Ave PR, posted a condolence message to Dr. Miller's family on Twitter.

Thoughts and prayers are with the family of @MatthewMillerPT tonight. A loss for the @parktudor community.
