Kellie Pickler's Husband Seemed Celebratory Day Before Apparent Suicide

One day before the apparent suicide of Kellie Pickler's husband Kyle Jacobs, he took to Instagram in what seemed like a celebratory and upbeat mood.

Jacobs was found dead in their Nashville home Friday (February 17) from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, Metro Nashville PD officials said. Pickler was reportedly asleep at the time of the incident and called 911 when she couldn't open her own bedroom door after waking up.

Authorities responded to their home shortly before 1:30 p.m. where officials said they're treating this investigation as an "apparent suicide."

Thursday, one day before his death, Jacobs shared an Instagram post about the success of Lee Brice's Hey World album, which just went certified platinum. "Platinum?! SWEEEET!!! An amazing crew of incredibly talented peeps put this one together…Deeply honored to be a creative part of it…Thank you Jesus!!!" he wrote in the caption. Jacobs was a composer, producer and played acoustic guitar and provided background vocals on Brice's fifth studio album, People reports.

Jacobs and the American Idol alum tied the knot in 2011. They also starred on CMT series I Love Pickler, a three-season reality series that premiered in 2015.
