Naomi Judd died of self-inflicted firearm wound, daughter reveals

May 12, 20220

Naomi Judd died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, according to her daughter, Ashley Judd.

Ashley shared the heartbreaking news with “Good Morning America” on Wednesday where she opened up about her mother’s death.

“She used a weapon,” Ashley Judd said. “A firearm. So that’s the piece of information we are very uncomfortable sharing.”

Naomi Judd passed away at 76 just one day before she was going to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame — alongside her daughter, Wynonna.

In an emotional conversation, the actress said she wanted to speak before things “become public without our control.”

“We’re aware that although grieving the loss of a wife and a mother, we are, in an uncanny way, a public family,” Judd said. “So that’s really the impetus for this timing. Otherwise, it’s obviously way too soon. So that’s important for us to say up front.”

Ashley Judd said she and her family wanted to shed light on mental illness, explaining that it is “important to make the distinction between the loved one and the disease.”

“My mother knew that she was seen and she was heard in her anguish and that she was walked home,” Ashley said tearfully. “When we’re talking about mental illness it’s very important to be clear and to make the distinction between our loved one and the disease. It’s very real and it is enough to… it lies, it’s savage and my mother, our mother couldn’t hang on until she was inducted into the Hall of Fame by her peers. That is the level of catastrophe that was going on inside of her. The barrier between the regard in which they held her couldn’t penetrate into her heart and the lie the disease told her was so convincing.”

Ashley also thanked everyone for the support she and her family have received in the wake of their grief. CMT will air a televised memorial for Judd on Sunday, CNN reported.
