Naomi Judd‘s autopsy report officially confirmed her cause of death — she died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
According to the Williamson County, Tennessee, Medical Examiner’s Office, the autopsy report also concluded that the late country music singer suffered from anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder, among other conditions.
