Natural causes, I'm sure...

His remains — which were reported to be severely decomposed — were spotted by a passerby rolled up in a carpet and wrapped in plastic in a vacant lot, police told WBRZ.

An upcoming autopsy will reveal the exact cause of death, the release states. It's unclear at this time if there is sufficient evidence to suggest foul play.

The 42-year-old Covington man was last seen alive the night of Feb. 22 after visiting Happy's Irish Pub on Third Street in downtown Baton Rouge...

Surveillance video shows Millard leaving the bar alone and walking to his nearby hotel, the Courtyard Marriott, around 11:30 p.m., according to officials with Texas EquuSearch... However, he never made it back to his room.

Millard's phone and wallet were later found discarded several blocks away from the hotel...

You mean you’ve never rolled yourself up in carpet and plastic wrap before?

Suicide. Politely leaving his phone and wallet blocks away so his family didn't have to see his body like that is a clear giveaway.

How well did he know Bill & Hillary?

Well it wasn't "natural causes", but sounds like it was largely self inflicted.

Can't believe I saw the followup to this.

Yes, very sad. You could see this coming.

Here's an article describing the "bizarre" phone calls his wife received after his death which outlined some of the "why"--as in why he ended up hidden in a carpet. They were right that he got some bad drugs (overdosed), and said the drug dealer was trying to get a reward for finding him. Probably right, too.

(The phone calls weren't bizarre--maybe the self-inflicted behavior was...)

One of the phone calls (which was before the body was found) told the wife that he was given bad drugs as part of a plan to rob him. I think the drug dealer is the one that actually took his ATM card and used it. I suspect a murder charge will be forthcoming at some point.

Men getting drugged at the bar is an increasingly common thing.

It makes more sense he was drugged at a bar than he just happened to go off the rails that completely out of nowhere. I assume an investigation will reveal past behavior, but seems a bit much you go from normal guy meeting a client to heroin and crack in a night.

Of course he could have. Will be interesting to see what is found.

Crazy.
