Naomi Judd\u2019s autopsy report reportedly confirms she died by suicide.<\/p>\n

Details from the Nashville medical examiner\u2019s obtained by Page Six on Friday apparently gave the ruling after she was found \u201cunresponsive in her home by family\u201d at 10.57am local time on April 30.<\/p>\n

Page Six said it stated: \u201cShe had an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound and was transported to Williamson Medical Center where she was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outlet added that, according to the report, the gunshot \u201cperforated through the right side of the scalp and entered the skull through an entrance-type gunshot wound\u201d.<\/p>\n

Naomi\u2019s cause of death was suspected to be a suicide within days of the country superstar\u2019s death given her public battle with mental health.<\/p>\n

The toxicology report, also provided by the Nashville medical examiner\u2019s office, reportedly revealed the 76-year-old musician had several drugs in her system at the time of death, including those used to treat insomnia, Parkinson\u2019s disease, depression and seizures.<\/p>\n

Page Six said the medical examiner concluded the award-winning country musician also had \u201cwhat appears to be the words \u2018suit case\u2019\u201d written in \u201cfaint pen ink on the palm of the left hand\u201d.<\/p>\n

Judd had a medical history of struggling with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, chronic idiopathic pneumonitis, hepatitis C, hypertension, and hypothyroidism, the document is said to add.<\/p>\n

It adds: \u201cPer family, the decedent has had prior suicidal ideations and recent life stressors. A weapon and a note with suicidal connotations were found near the decedent at the scene.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her daughter Ashley Judd confirmed on Good Morning America her mother shot herself and the actress was the one who discovered her lifeless body.<\/p>\n

The 54-year-old said in May: \u201cShe used a weapon. My mother used a firearm. So that\u2019s the piece of information we are very uncomfortable sharing.\u201d<\/p>\n
