Hannah Price’s body was found at her home in Nashville, Tennessee on Friday and early reports suggested investigators were treating her death as a suspect.

But a spokesman for the Tennessee District Attorney’s Office for the 8th District says: “This is a death investigation and any attempt to classify it as a homicide investigation at this time is premature and irresponsible.”

Detectives initially told the Daughtry family that Hannah’s death was a homicide, according to TMZ.

Opening up about the tragedy via Facebook over the weekend, Daughtry wrote: “I’m still processing the last 24 hours. I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken. Recently, in the last week, I lost my mother to cancer, but I was fortunate to have the opportunity to say goodbye and I was processing it privately.

“We were never able to say goodbye to our precious Hannah and it is another great success for our family.”

Hannah’s boyfriend, Bobby Jolly, was arrested Friday at the Fentress County Jail in Jamestown, Tennessee, according to TMZ, but it was not immediately clear if her bust was related to the case. A Fentress County Sheriff’s Deputy told the New York Post on Saturday that Jolly is being held awaiting transfer to the Putnam County Jail.

Chris and Hannah’s mother, Deanna, have been together since 2000 and share 10-year-old twins, Adalynn Rose and Noah James. Deanna is also the mother of Hannah’s brother, Griffin.
