Our thoughts and prayers are with Kellie Pickler, an American Idol alumnus whose husband, Kyle Jacobs, died recently.

According to the Nashville Police Department, Jacobs allegedly committed suicide in the Tennessee home he shared with Pickler.

According to news sources, Jacobs apparently shot himself in an upstairs room.

Pickler committed suicide while inside the house. According to the officials, she was sleeping at the time.

Pickler awoke from her snooze unable to locate Jacobs, so she began seeking for him. Jacobs was eventually found, and when she couldn’t open the room’s door, she dialed 911.
Jacobs died at the young age of 49.

Pickler and Jacobs married in 2011. Jacobs, a popular songwriter, has collaborated with many country music legends, including Tim McGraw, Garth Brooks, Darius Rucker, and Kelly Clarkson.

Pickler and Jacobs did not have any children together. This story is currently being written.
