|
The daughter of country singer June Carter Cash and stepdaughter of Johnny Cash has been found dead in a parked bus.
Rosey Nix Adams, who was also a singer, was found dead along with Nashville fiddle player Jimmy Campbell in Tennessee, in the United States.
A spokesman for the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department, said that the deaths were "suspicious".
Officials said that carbon monoxide from six
propane or kerosene heaters on the bus may have killed the
pair and that a post mortem examination was planned.
The sheriff's spokesman said emergency medical workers found
drug paraphernalia, including needles and pipes, on the bus
near the bodies.
'Saddened'
Adams and her husband, Philip Adams, had recently sold a
home in Montgomery County and were preparing to travel in
the bus.
They had parked the bus behind the house for repairs.
"The Cash and Carter families are shocked and deeply
saddened by the untimely death of Rosey Carter Adams,"
family spokesman Kirt Webster said in a statement.
"The family has suffered greatly this year by the
successive passing of Rosey's mother, June Carter Cash, and
her stepfather, Johnny Cash, in just over five months."
June Carter Cash died in May this year, and Johnny Cash died
last month.
