The Reidsville Police Department has opened a formal investigation into the unexpected death of 64-year-old Ponsa Deleon Miller, a Greensboro resident, whose life was tragically cut short under unclear circumstances earlier today.

The incident occurred at approximately 12:12 p.m. on Friday, August 1, when Reidsville police officers were dispatched to the 1400 block of North Scales Street following a 911 call reporting a possible cardiac arrest. Upon arrival, officers located Mr. Miller, who was found unresponsive at the scene. Emergency medical personnel from Rockingham County EMS arrived shortly thereafter and, despite their efforts, pronounced Mr. Miller deceased on site.

While the initial call was treated as a medical emergency, the nature of the incident has prompted authorities to proceed with caution. Out of an abundance of diligence and transparency, the Reidsville Police Department is actively investigating the case to determine the full scope of what occurred—including the possibility of any suspicious, criminal, or contributing factors.

Mr. Miller’s cause of death remains undetermined at this time. The Reidsville Police Department has indicated that the investigation may involve a forensic autopsy and other medical evaluations to help establish the circumstances leading up to his sudden death. At present, no foul play has been confirmed, but law enforcement officials emphasize that all possibilities are being carefully considered as they gather evidence, review surveillance in the area, and conduct interviews.

Lieutenant Lingle, who is leading the investigation, encourages any member of the public who may have witnessed anything unusual or has pertinent information about Mr. Miller’s whereabouts or activities in the hours leading up to his death to come forward. Lieutenant Lingle can be contacted directly at 336-347-2338.

In addition, anonymous tips are welcomed and may be submitted by texting REIDSVILLEPD to 847411, or by reaching out to Rockingham County Crime Stoppers at 336-349-9683. Those who provide valuable information may qualify for a cash reward, as part of the Crime Stoppers initiative to encourage public cooperation in open investigations.

The Reidsville Police Department has extended its deepest condolences to the family and friends of Mr. Ponsa Deleon Miller during this profoundly difficult time. The loss of life under such sudden and unclear circumstances has left many in the community shaken, and authorities assure the public that every effort is being made to provide answers and ensure justice, if warranted.

As the investigation continues to unfold, additional updates will be shared with the public as soon as they become available. The department remains committed to keeping the community informed and engaged while respecting the privacy of Mr. Miller’s grieving family.

For now, the Reidsville Police Department urges the public to remain vigilant and encourages anyone who may have been in the vicinity of North Scales Street around midday on August 1 to report anything they may have seen or heard, no matter how minor it may seem. Every detail could prove critical in helping investigators understand what led to this tragic loss of life.
