Songwriter Kyle Jacobs was found dead at the home he shared with wife Kellie Pickler in Nashville, Tennessee, on Friday, by an apparent suicide, according to authorities.
After the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department received a 911 call at 1:21 p.m. on Friday, the local fire department found the 49-year-old “deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in an upstairs bedroom/office. His death is being investigated as an apparent suicide,” a statement shared with media reads.
According to the statement, Pickler “reported that she awoke a short time earlier, did not see her husband, and began looking for him. After she and her personal assistant were unable to open the door to the upstairs bedroom/office, the assistant telephoned 911.”
