American Idol alum and rocker Chris Daughtry and wife Deanna Daughtry are mourning the sudden death of their eldest daughter, Hannah.
The 25-year-old was found at her home in Fentress County, Tenn. on Friday, Nov. 12, and was pronounced dead at the scene, the singer’s rep said in a statement to E! News on Saturday, Nov. 13, adding that local authorities are still investigating her death. Police and the coroner’s office had no immediate comment when reached by E! News.
Following Hannah’s passing, her parents paid tribute to her on Instagram. Deanna wrote on her page, “My first born. I love you endlessly Hannah. Our family would like to thank you all for the outpouring of love as we grieve the loss of my daughter Hannah.”
Deanna continued, “We are awaiting the autopsy results to determine how Hannah sustained the injuries that caused her death. Our hearts are broken.
The statement continued, “The Daughtry family thanks you for your understanding and respectfully asks for privacy during this very difficult time. Further details will be made available at a later date. The investigation into this tragic death is still on going.”
Chris later shared on his own Instagram page a personal tribute of his own. “I am still processing the last 24 hours,” he wrote, alongside a photo of Hannah. “I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken. I just recently lost my mother to cancer but I was blessed with the chance to say goodbye and I was processing it privately. We never got to say goodbye to our precious Hannah and it’s another huge hit to our family.”
