Naomi Judd Cause of Death Photos

Naomi Judd, the iconic country music singer who died at the age of 76, is mourned by her fans. Many fans are still wondering what caused her death, and it appears that anonymous sources have the truth.

According to many insiders who talked to People Magazine, the country icon committed suicide after a long battle with mental illness.

No one from the Judd family or her representatives has confirmed whether the ongoing claims are real as of this writing.

The news comes only days after Ashley and Wynonna Judd released an emotional message on social media announcing their mother’s death.

The sibling’s remark seemed to allude to their mother’s cause of death by mentioning that she suffered from mental illness.

“A catastrophe struck our family today. Our lovely mother succumbed to the affliction of mental illness. We’ve been devastated “they penned

Larry Strickland, the late singer’s 32-year-old husband, also made a statement, saying that their family is requesting privacy and that no further information will be shared.

Naomi was born Diana Ellen Judd in Ashland, Kentucky, and worked as a nurse in Nashville when she met Wynonna.

Their distinctive harmonies, along with acoustic, bluegrass, and blues components, set them apart in the genre at the time.

Naomi told The Associated Press when they were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, “We had such a stamp of originality on what we were attempting to do.”

She writes about her struggles as a single mother and survivor of domestic abuse and sexual assault in her book “River of Time: My Descent into Depression and How I Emerged with Hope.”

Naomi survived the formerly incurable Hepatitis C virus at the height of their notoriety and was declared cured five years later.
