NASHVILLE â Tammy Wynette died of natural causes, a medical examiner has ruled. Davidson County medical examiner Bruce Levy made the announcement Tuesday, more than three years after the 55-year-old singer was found dead by her husband, George Richey, at their Nashville mansion. No autopsy was conducted when Wynette was found dead on April 6, 1998.
She was scheduled to perform alongside Melissa Etheridge and Trisha Yearwood for a live performance on TNN May 8. Wynette, who had sold more than thirty million records over the course of her storied career, was born Virginia Wynette Pugh in Itawamba County (near Tupelo), Mississippi on May 5, 1942. She nurtured dreams of performing and writing music from a very young age, and secured a deal with Epic in 1966.
