Kyle Jacobs’ suicide, verified by autopsy, has devastated the music industry. Jacobs, 49, died on February 17, leaving his wife, country star Kellie Pickler, and musical successes.

On Jacobs’ dying day, Nashville police responded to an emergency call at his home. Police and the Nashville Fire Department arrived, but Jacobs had died from suicide.
