COUNTRY singer Cady Groves died from chronic alcohol abuse, her autopsy report claims.
The Nashville-based musician passed away in May after her roommate contacted police. She was found dead in her Nashville, Tennessee home.
According to the Davidson County Office of the Medical Examiner's autopsy report obtained exclusively by The Sun, Cady died from "chronic ethanol abuse" and suffered from cirrhosis and "severe chronic pancreatitis" when she died at just 30 years old.
The coroner claimed she was found unresponsive in bed by her roommate on May 2, and there was evidence of alcohol use on the scene.
The Little Girl singer was found with a small amount of alcohol in her system during the autopsy performed on May 3, and her BAC was .01.
The coroner ruled the manner of death as natural, and the cause of death as "chronic ethanol abuse," or chronic alcohol abuse.
Cady's brother first announced she had died on social media.
Cody tweeted: "@cadygroves has left this world. Details are limited right now but family is trying to get them and will keep people updated.
"Rest In Peace little sis. Hope you’re reunited with @kellydgroves and Casey."
The emotional post refers to Cady's late brothers, Casey and Kelly, who died in 2007 and 2014 respectively.
Cody later revealed his sister had died of "natural causes" after battling "medical problems" last year.
He said in a statement on Twitter: "I hate that I even have to do this, but apparently the world and internet is a cluster of twisted misinformation.
"In my original post I had stated we had no information to try and prevent that, but to expel rumors I will provide an update.
"The medical examiner has completed autopsy and there was no indication of foul play or self harm. Simply put, Cady Groves died of natural causes.
"She had some medical problems last fall and our best guess at this point until further testing is complete is that they had resurfaced. Please respect her name and family before sharing information that did not come directly from here."
He said Cady "was really looking forward to the next few months and release of her new album."
Cody added that their "latest in depth conversation (since most were witty banter) was her sending me songs to critique and give feedback on."
The Sun later revealed it was her roommate who had called the police and she was discovered deceased at the scene when they arrived at 8:41 p.m.
Her friend exclusively told The Sun that loved ones are “shocked” over the passing.
The pal admitted: “The truth is, she was one of the healthiest people we all knew. She wasn’t a partier.
“She was the one at the gym, she was the one eating all the healthy snacks. It’s strange times.”
