Chris Daughtry and his wife have shared the cause of their daughter Hannah's sudden death.
The 25-year-old was found dead in her Nashville home on November 12, 2021, by the Nashville Police Department.
In a statement, Daughtry said they chose to reveal that Hannah died by suicide, after a full investigation by law enforcement.
"From a young age, Hannah struggled with mental illness and was in and out of therapy and treatment centers. As Hannah got older, she struggled to find her footing and began using drugs and often found herself in abusive relationships," the statement said.
"Just months after losing her biological father to suicide, Hannah was the victim of a crime and was shot in the face. We did everything we could to support her and get her the help she needed to recover from these tragedies and get her life back on track."
Hannah also planned to seek further treatment and move closer to the family, the statement said.
The Daughtry's said in the statement that Hannah had told her family on the morning of her death that she was in "fear for her life."
"She needed help after her current boyfriend allegedly physically abused her and had taken her car," they added.
Her family said they asked local police to do a wellness check on Hannah and at 12:45 PM "determined she was OK" and "left without incident."
Later that afternoon, Hannah's boyfriend found her body and called 911, the statement said, and she was pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the Daughtry's, an investigation by local law enforcement determined her official cause of death was suicide while under the influence of narcotics. They did not find any evidence of foul play.
A spokesperson for the Knox County Regional Forensic Center said the autopsy report will be publicly released on January 20.
In their statement, the Daughtry's also encouraged anyone struggling with their mental health to seek help.
"Hannah was a generous and loving person who wanted more for herself and others. She will forever be in the hearts and minds of those of us who love her," they added.
