Naomi Judd’s autopsy report released by the Nashville medical examiner’s office confirmed statements that the late country music star’s family members had previously made regarding the circumstances of her death at the age of 76 on April 30.<\/p>\n

Judd died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head, an autopsy report obtained by Fox News Digital revealed on Friday.<\/p>\n

“We 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,” an official statement from Judd’s family that was provided to The Associated Press read .<\/p>\n

The statement continued, “She was treated for PTSD and bipolar disorder, to which millions of Americans can relate.”<\/p>\n
