Kyle Jacobs’ cause of death has been determined by officials. The husband of Kellie Pickler died by suicide on Feb. 17, a spokesperson for the Davidson Country Medical Examiner confirmed to E! News May 9. He was 49. Toxicology results showed that Jacobs did not have any drugs in his system at the time of his death, though he did have a history of “pseudoseizures, gastrointestinal bleeding, elevated liver enzymes, and chronic alcohol use,” according to an autopsy report obtained by Taste of Country. Officers from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department were called to Pickler’s Tennessee home on Feb. 17 after the American Idol alum couldn’t find her husband when she woke up. In a statement to E! News at the time, the department said Pickler and her assistant dialled 911 after they were unable to open a door to an upstairs bedroom/office during their search for Jacobs. Pickler, 36, and the songwriter tied the knot in a private Caribbean wedding in 2011. The Nashville-based couple chronicled their life on CMT reality show I Love Kellie Pickler, which ran from 2015 to 2017.
