Naomi Judd Autopsy: Update on Singer's Real Cause of Death After Induction
The world of music is still mourning the loss of a country legend, Naomi Judd, and many fans are still seeking answers as to what her actual cause of death is. The big question is: what are the results of her autopsy?
According to the New York Post, Williamson County Sheriff's department in Tennessee is the team responsible for the investigation surrounding the singer's death.
The Franklin County Coroner is also doing an autopsy. However, the results will not be available until after 12 weeks.
As of this writing, it is still unclear when her remains will be released for burial.
Reports about her autopsy come a day after multiple sources confirmed to People Magazine that the other half of "The Judds" died of suicide after battling mental illness for years.
However, none of her family members have confirmed whether the circulating reports are true.
The singer's daughters, Ashley and Wynonna, took to social media to announce their mother's death.
In an emotional statement, the siblings wrote, "Today we sisters experienced a tragedy. We lost our beautiful mother to the disease of mental illness. We are shattered."
Although the Judd family is still mourning their loss, the sisters decided not to postpone their induction to the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Naomi was a part of "The Judds," a duo consisting of herself and her daughter Wynonna.
CNN reported that the singer asked the foundation to proceed with the scheduled event despite the star's death.
The siblings took the stage to deliver their emotional speeches during the event.
"My mama loved you so much and she appreciated your love for her, I'm sorry that she couldn't hang on until today," Ashley said.
Despite visibly crying, Wynonna never forgot to crack a joke as she opened her speech by saying she didn't prepare anything because the late singer would "probably talk the most."
The singer didn't deliver a lengthy speech as her "heart's broken," but she mentioned that it's a strange dynamic to feel "broken and blessed" simultaneously.
Naomi has been open about her mental struggles for years. In a previous interview with "Good Morning America," she revealed that she was diagnosed with severe depression and anxiety.
She also published a book titled "River of Time: My Descent into Depression and How I Emerged with Hope," where she detailed her problems and how she got through them.
