Kellie Pickler's husband, Kyle Jacobs, underwent an autopsy following his shocking death.
Radar Online confirmed the new development surrounding Jacobs' death, saying that the Tennessee authorities are still waiting for toxicology results. The 49-year-old singer-songwriter was found unconscious in one of their four-bedroom mansion on Feb. 17.
Administrative services assistant at the Office of the State Medical Examiner Bailey Floyd confirmed that the Tennessee Regional Forensic Center conducted the autopsy on Jacobs' body. Although it has been completed, the authorities are yet to determine Kyle Jacobs' cause of death.
The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department released a statement that his death is still being investigated as an apparent suicide.
"Mr. Jacobs' wife, Kellie Pickler, reported that she awoke a short time earlier, did not see her husband, and began looking for him," the initial findings revealed. "After she and her personal assistant were unable to open the door to the upstairs bedroom/office, the assistant telephoned 911."
The toxicology report would determine the possible substances in his bloodstream, but it could take between 60 days to 90 days to be completed.
Jacobs' body was reportedly returned to his family and had already been cremated, according to his obituary on Findagrave.com.
With the available information, the spokesperson for the Nashville Police, Noella Yazdani, said that the case is being treated as an apparent suicide. However, she clarified that the autopsy report would be finalized following the release of the toxicology results, and it would determine Jacobs' real and official cause of death.
