Nashville police confirmed that Nashville police and fire were called to a home just after 1 p.m. local time. There they found Jacobs “dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.”
“His death is being investigated as an apparent suicide.”
Pickler was reportedly sleeping at home when the incident happened. She and an assistant called the police when they couldn’t open the upstairs bedroom door.

Jacob’s resume includes a CMA Award, an ACM Award and a Grammy nomination.
