The Franklin County Sheriff’s department has launched an investigation into the shocking death of country legend Naomi Judd.

“It’s an open investigation, currently we are not releasing any reports, 911 calls or bodycam or dashcam footage. This is a death investigation which is ongoing,” Public Information Officer Williamson said in a statement to Us Weekly on Monday, April 2. “There is no police jurisdiction in that area, so only the sheriff’s department attended. We are awaiting information from the detectives from the criminal investigation division.“

Basically they are trying to figure out if anybody was present when she took her life, and if so, is the situation avoidable. If it was considered that the person or persons were there and had the ability to curtail the attempt, they could be charged with negligence and/or reckless endangerment.

1. Great, punish anyone who might have been there

Leave the Judds alone.

Another decision about our lives our own bodies and our own choices.

It really isn't anyone else's business. I don't know all the circumstances of Naomi's life, but she apparently suffered from depression and this was her decision.

5. In Naomi's own words....

Her suicidal depression was clinical. Usually, depending on state, clinically depressed are never left alone.

3. When today is the worst day of your life and yesterday was the second worst

you pretty much know what tomorrow will be. Depression may not be this serious to
all who suffer but it is to some, if not many.

6. Suicides are homicides.

They should be investigated.

As to charging anyone with negligence or reckless endangerment, we don't know the circumstances.

7. We have to stop stimatizing suicide--especially to family members. We should work to prevent it

as much as we can--there is no doubt about that I am not at all suggesting otherwise. But we have to recognize that not all are truly preventable. I look to Robin William's death after a diagnosis of Lewy Body dementia, a cruel and rapidly progressive form that almost makes Alzheimer's look like a kinder alternative. At some point, the unrelenting pain (and that can include unsuccessfully treated long-term chronic debilitating depression with years of treatment failure) may well leave the patient unreachable to suicide intervention. I think it is time to recognize this and not conflate stigmatization with altruistic attempts at prevention nor the sad end result as a reflection of failure on the part of the family. Their grief will be entwined with guilt, regardless. Why do some feel entitled to pile on?
