Naomi Judd's sudden and tragic cause of death shook the whole world and caused people to immediately act to save others.

Following Judd's passing, Ashley Judd encouraged people suffering from mental health issues to seek help from professionals. She shared a powerful message during her recent interview on "Good Morning America," saying that she was with the singer when she died on April 30.

To help her in assisting people struggling with depression, the 76-year-old crooner's fans spread kind words online to raise their concerns in pursuit of preventing another loss.

One said, "Over 40,000 people died from gunshot wounds last year. Did you know that 2/3 of them were suicides? Part of the conversation moving forward absolutely needs to be about mental health. RIP Naomi Judd #ThursdayThoughts."

Naomi Judd's Death Serves as a Reminder to People

Judd became the latest victim of the dreaded mental illness which also claimed the lives of other singers and celebrities. Moses J. Moseley also shocked the world when he passed away due to a gunshot wound to the head.

Other renowned people who claimed their own lives include Phillip Adams, YouTuber Etika, Stephanie Adams, and Robin Williams, among others.

Due to the growing number of suicides, Judd's daughter asked everyone who has been having thoughts of harming themselves to call The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and consult a specialist.

"It lies. It's savage. And, you know, my mother, our mother, couldn't hang on until she was inducted into the Hall of Fame by her peers. I mean, that is the level of catastrophe of what was going on inside of her because the barrier between - the regard in which they held her couldn't penetrate into her heart. And the lie that the disease told her was so convincing," Ashley went on.

She was the first person to find Judd's body, immediately causing her to suffer grief and trauma. The singer purportedly asked her if she would stay with her before her death.

Ashley and Wynonna Judd then attended the Country Music Hall of Fame for The Judds, publicly showing the pain of losing their mother to depression.
