Death of Colin McMillan, nominated for Navy secretary, ruled suicide
Associated Press

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- The death of Colin McMillan, an oilman awaiting Senate confirmation as Navy secretary, was ruled a suicide by gunshot Friday.

McMillan, 67, was found dead Thursday at his 55,000-acre ranch in southern New Mexico, near the White Sands Missile Range.

"The cause is a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The manner is suicide," said Tim Stepetic, spokesman for the state medical investigator.

In Alamogordo, District Attorney Scot Key would not say whether McMillan left a suicide note. Key said a handgun was found with the body.

McMillan "had a recurrence of cancer," but "everybody thought he was recovered, recuperating quite well," Sen. Pete Domenici, R-N.M., said Friday on the Senate floor.

President Bush nominated McMillan in May for the Navy post, which had been vacant since Gordon England left in January to become deputy secretary of the new Homeland Security Department.

The president said he and his wife were "saddened by the death of our good friend."

"Colin was a public servant and patriot," Bush said.

McMillan served in the Marine Corps from 1957 to 1972 and was assistant defense secretary in the early 1990s, during the first Bush administration.

McMillan ran Permian Exploration Corp. in Roswell. He was a member of the New Mexico House from 1971 to 1982 and ran for U.S. Senate in 1994, losing to Democratic incumbent Jeff Bingaman in a bitter and costly campaign.

Domenici called McMillan "someone who succeeded at everything he tried and everything he did, and yet he was about as humble as anyone you will ever meet."

McMillan is survived by his wife, Kay, and their four children.

Name: Colin Riley McMillan
Occupation: Chair, CEO, President, Permian Exploration
Industry: Energy & Natural Resources
Home: Roswell, NM

McMillan runs an oil explorations company and is chair of Roswell’s First Federal Savings Bank. His 55,000-acre Three Rivers Cattle Co. ranch ranks him as the state’s 23rd largest landowner—edging out ABC’s Sam Donaldson. When New West Research did an open-records request to learn which landowners were asking the federal government to exterminate wildlife on their land, Colin McMillan’s name was on the list. He asked Uncle Sam to expend the public’s purse to snuff out coyotes, mountain lions and black bears on his ranch. McMillan sent this request to the same federal government that lists the black bear as a threatened species. To deal with the Russian bear, President Bush appointed McMillan as an assistant secretary of defense in ‘90. McMillan made a failed bid for the U.S. Senate in ’94. He considered running for Rep. Joe Skeen’s seat in 2000—until Skeen decided to run for reelection.
