Multiple news sources say that the cause of death for Kellie Pickler’s late husband, Kyle Jacobs, has been found. He died almost three months ago. On Tuesday, May 9, a Davidson County Medical Examiner spokesman told E! News that Jacobs killed himself in February. On the other hand, a toxicology study said there were no signs of drugs in his body.
The late star, who was 49 when he died, had a history of “pseudoseizures, gastrointestinal bleeding, elevated liver enzymes, and chronic alcohol use,” according to an autopsy report that Taste of Country got. On February 17, the news came out that Jacobs had shot himself at the Nashville home he shared with Pickler.
“On Friday at 1:21 p.m., a 911 call came in from a home on Sneed Road in the West Precinct of the police department in Nashville. Officers and people from the Nashville Fire Department went to the house and found Kyle Jacobs, 49, dead in an upstairs bedroom/office. It looked like he had shot himself.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police said at the time that they were looking into his death as a possible suicide. “Mr. Jacobs’s wife, Kellie Pickler, said she woke up a short time ago and didn’t see her husband. She then started looking for him. When she and her assistant couldn’t open the door to the bedroom/office upstairs, the assistant called 911.” The 36-year-old singer of “Red High Heels” and the author met through friends in 2008.

Us Weekly reported that the couple got engaged in June 2010. “That’s right!” At the time of the offer, Pickler’s rep told Us. “She’s pleased!” After being engaged for less than a year, the former American Idol contestant and Jacobs decided to skip their big wedding plans and travel to the Caribbean instead. Pickler told Ellen DeGeneres why she was so happy to have a much easier wedding.
“It was perfect because we didn’t plan anything,” she said on the Ellen DeGeneres Show in February 2011. “I packed the dress for the wedding, and he packed an outfit. We didn’t know what kind of cake we’d get when we flew there. We didn’t know what we would eat. It was the most amazing day of my life.”

I have no idea why he chose me, but I’m glad he did.”
