A part of Naomi Judd's suicide note has been disclosed to the public following her tragic death.
Judd left the world in deep grief and shock when she died by suicide in April. The singer succumbed following a self-inflicted gunshot wound in her Tennessee home days before her scheduled induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame.
Nearly a year after her death, Radar Online shared photos of Judd's reported final note, which she reportedly wrote before taking her own life.
The publication said it obtained the images from the Williamson County Sheriff's Office in Franklin, Tennessee. The photos in question showed the country icon's last message.
One of them indicates that the 76-year-old Grammy-winning singer did not want her daughter, Wynonna, to attend her funeral.
"Do not let Wy come to my funeral. She's mentally ill," the yellow Post-It note said. The word "not" also has an underline.
An unnamed source said Judd's singing partner still attended the funeral in 2022.
Another photograph captured the singer-songwriter's bed with blood stains and a gun on her bedside table. According to Daily Mail, Judd's husband Larry Strickland was not present at the time of her death as he was traveling somewhere.
However, the singer already said she did not want to be alone.
The same report disclosed how her daughter Ashley discovered her in her bed and called the ambulance. The 54-year-old revealed she saw her mother in a manic state before the matriarch shot herself, prompting her to call their family doctor, Dr. Ted Klontz.
The doctor went to the singer's bedroom but had to leave for a moment. From there, Ashley discovered her with a bullet wound to her head.
Wynnona Judd "Extremely Weak" Before Her Death
The new development emerged after Strickland sat for an exclusive interview with People where he opened up about his late wife's last moments.
"It was a very chaotic, hectic, hectic time. It was extremely hard," he said. "She had several therapists that she was seeing, and her energy level had gotten really low. She was getting really weak."
He talked about Judd's struggles and personal battles, saying he was aware of them. However, Strickland said he did not know how bad things had already turned out before her passing.
During the same interview, the musician expressed regrets as he said he would have been softer toward her and gentler if he knew she was going to die. He admitted feeling exhausted because everything also wore him out.
