UPDATED<\/strong>: An autopsy report obtained by the Associated Press today regarding country music superstar Naomi Judd’s death earlier this year confirmed Ashley Judd’s assertion that her mother died after she shot herself with a gun.<\/p>\n

The report also indicated the presence of prescription drugs in the Judd matriarch’s system. Those medications are used to address post-traumatic stress and bipolar disorders.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have always shared openly both the joys of being family as well as its sorrows, too. One part of our story is that our matriarch was dogged by an unfair foe,\u201d the family said in a statement to AP. \u201cShe She was treated for PTSD and bipolar disorder, to which millions of Americans can relate.\u201d<\/p>\n

A few weeks ago Ashley Judd, sister Wynonna and Naomi’s husband Larry Strickland petitioned authorities to seal the police reports related to her death, with Strickland indicating he did not know the interviews were being recorded.<\/p>\n

PREVIOUSLY on May 12<\/strong>: Country music superstar Naomi Judd died of a self-inflicted firearm wound on April 30, daughter Ashley Judd said on ABC’s Good MorningAmerica<\/em> today.<\/p>\n

\u201cMother used a firearm,\u201d Judd told ABC’s Diane Sawyer in an emotional interview this morning. \u201cThat’s the piece of information that we are very uncomfortable sharing, but understand that we’re in a position that if we don’t say it, someone else is going to.\u201d<\/p>\n

Watch an excerpt of the interview below.<\/p>\n

Actress Judd added, \u201cShe obviously was suffering, and, as such, her days up until that moment were hurtful to her.\u201d She said she had been authorized by the Judd family to discuss Naomi’s death in order to spread awareness of the disease of mental illness and available treatments.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are some things that we would just like to retain as a family,\u201d she said. \u201cBoth sister and Pop [Judd\u2019s stepfather Larry Strickland] have sort of deputized me in certain ways to speak on behalf of the family at this early time before things about the 30th of April become public without our control.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we’re talking about mental illness, it’s very important and \u2014 to be clear, and to make the distinction between our loved one and the disease,\u201d she added. \u201cIt’s very real \u2014 and it’s enough to \u2014 it lies. It’s savage.\u201d<\/p>\n

Judd said Naomi \u201ccouldn’t hang on until she was inducted into the Hall of Fame by her peers. That is the level of catastrophe of what was going on inside of her, because the barrier between the regard in which they held her could n’t penetrate into her heart, and the lie the disease told her was so convincing. \u201d<\/p>\n

The Judds, including Naomi, were inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame on May 1. The induction was announced last summer.<\/p>\n

Today’s interview comes just days before a scheduled public memorial for the five-time Grammy winner, an event that will air live on CMT this Sunday. Naomi Judd: A River of Time Celebration<\/em> is being produced by CMT and Sandbox Live in partnership with the Judd family. CMT will exclusively televise the public memorial service as a commercial-free special on Sunday, May 15th at 6 pm PT \/ 5 pm CT.<\/p>\n
