Toxicology reports revealed that the 49-year-old had no drugs in his system when he died, but the report noted that he had a history of "pseudoseizures, gastrointestinal bleeding, elevated liver enzymes, and chronic alcohol use." It has also been confirmed that Jacobs died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Nashville Police Department said in a statement: "Officers and Nashville Fire Department personnel responded and located resident Kyle Jacobs, 49, deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound in an upstairs bedroom/office. His death is being investigated as an apparent suicide." The pair starred in the reality TV show I Love Kellie Pickler, which ran from 2015 to 2017 and documented both their professional and private lives. "We just do everything we can just to be real," Jacobs <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKsrFGSeaF4" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">told Yahoo's BUILD series</a> in 2017. "We love laughing through life. We love to do that, and that's what the show is. Our show is love and laughter." The pair tied the knot in a ceremony in the Caribbean in 2011, more than five years after Pickler rose to fame on American Idol. Jacobs also told Yahoo: "There's always stresses in life...and I think if you [and], especially with your significant other, can laugh at a lot of it and laugh through it, then you're in a good spot." <img class="size-full wp-image-1263210749" src="https://img.vt.co/2023/05/2NH0EE0-scaled.jpg" alt="" width="1707" height="2560" />[[imagecaption|| Kyle Jacobs sadly died by suicide.

News</a> last year that she doesn't see herself as a celebrity, and much prefers her quiet life with her husband. "I clock in and I do my job and then I come home and I'm a wife," she said. "I hate the word celebrity. It dehumanizes people. I clock out of that world as quick as possible and I keep my feet on solid ground in the real world. I even have healthy boundaries with people that are in the business." Our thoughts are with Jacobs' loved ones at this time.
