The Fentress County Sheriff’s Department confirms to PEOPLE that there is an active investigation into Price’s death. An autopsy is being conducted, but the medical examiner’s office has not yet released a cause or manner of death.
Despite reports that Price’s boyfriend is in custody, authorities have not released whether it is related to her death.
In a statement, the District Attorney for Tennessee’s 8th District says that it would be “premature” to call Price’s death a homicide. The statement emphasizes that the investigation is ongoing.

“This is a death investigation and any attempt to classify it as a homicide investigation at this time is premature and irresponsible,” the statement continues. “Further, no one has been arrested pertaining to the death of Ms. Price. Once the investigation into the death of Hannah Marie Price is complete, authorities will forward their findings to the Eighth Judicial District Attorney General’s Office for review.”
The following day, the 41-year-old singer wrote about her death on hisInstagram, alongside a photo of Hannah.
Price, as well as her sibling Rosa, 23, are Deanna’s children from a previous relationship. The Daughtrys — who met in 2000 — also share twins Adalynn Rose and Noah James, 10, and raise Liam, 7.
