Death of Chris Daughtry’s stepdaughter Hannah is NOT being treated as homicide yet, says District Attorney
THE death of Chris Daughtry’s stepdaughter Hannah is not being treated as a homicide, the Tennessee District Attorney revealed on Monday.
The singer’s 25-year-old stepdaughter was found dead in her Nashville home by law enforcement officers on Friday.
On Monday, the DA said they’re not treating Hannah’s death as a homicide, saying: “This is a death investigation and any attempt to classify it as a homicide investigation at this time is premature and irresponsible.”
The shocking turn comes after detectives informed Daughtry and his wife Deanna that Hannah’s passing was due to homicide, TMZ reported.
The site also reports that Hannah’s boyfriend, Bobby Jolly, was arrested on Friday, the same day Hannah’s body was found.
However, authorities have not said whether Jolly’s arrest was related to Hannah’s homicide.
Daughtry said he was “absolutely devastated and heartbroken” after receiving the news of his stepdaughter’s death.
“I am still processing the last 24 hours. I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken. Thank you all for your kind words and condolences,” Daughtry said on Saturday.

Earlier on Saturday, Daughtry’s wife Deanna revealed on Instagram that “the family is awaiting the autopsy results to determine how Hannah sustained the injuries that caused her death.”
Haunting images posted on Hannah’s Instagram have emerged as it’s revealed she took cemetery pictures before her mysterious death.
Back in 2020, Hannah posted a series of photos from a cemetery in Nashville, Tennessee.
One of the shots of a man posing by a tomb is titled “cemetery walks during quarantine.”
A caption for a different image of the cemetery at night reads: “Old graveyard with a little church standing there.
“It looks nice but no one ever uses it.
“The graveyard is just creepy though.”
Her mom Deanna “liked” most of these posts.
DARK TURN
Hannah’s life seems to have taken a dark turn since the March 2018 suicide of her biological father, Randall Scott Price.
Months later, Hannah, who reportedly has two children, was allegedly shot in the face as she was caught in a run-in with gang members in Tennessee.
Additionally, Hannah and her boyfriend Bobby were arrested in April in a hit-and-run accident in Tennessee, according to ABC6.
Per police reports, Bobby allegedly shot at another car in an apparent road rage incident. As a result, they were both charged with aggravated assault.
