Kyle Jacobs, a songwriter and the husband of the singer Kellie Pickler was found dead by suicide, according to an autopsy report.

According to the inquiry, Jacobs, 49, passed away on February 17 with no drugs in his system. But he had previously suffered “pseudoseizures, gastrointestinal bleeding, elevated liver enzymes, and chronic alcohol use.”

PNES, or pseudoseizures, are described as “attacks that may resemble epileptic seizures but are not epileptic and are instead caused by psychological factors,” according to the definition provided by Epilepsy.com.

Taste of Country was the publication that first broke the news.

In a statement released in February, the Nashville Police Department acknowledged that a residence had indeed received a Department of Emergency Communications notice on that particular day at about 1:21 p.m. local time.

When police and the Nashville Fire Department arrived, they discovered the composer had passed away unexpectedly, according to the statement they gave at the time. “His apparent suicide death is being investigated,”

Despite claiming to have awakened just before Jacobs, a country artist and the 36-year-old presenter of SiriusXM’s The Highway were unable to locate him. She allegedly attempted to enter a house room with her personal assistant, but they were unsuccessful and phoned the police.

According to Music City Hitmakers, Jacobs moved from Minneapolis, Minnesota, to Nashville in 2000.

He wrote popular songs for Tim McGraw in 2008 and Garth Brooks in 2007, including “Still” and “More Than Memory.”

Jacobs has performed on stage alongside Josh Kelley, Kelly Clarkson, Randy Travis, Clay Walker, and other well-known musicians in addition to them.

Jacobs received nominations for the Grammy, CMA, and ACM awards during the course of his career.

On June 15, 2010, Jacobs proposed to the pair, who had been dating since 2008, when they were on a Florida beach.

The proposal, according to Pickler, a former American Idol finalist, “was the most spiritual time of my life. If a preacher had been passing by that evening, we would have been married.
