Hannah Price, the stepdaughter of musician Chris Daughtry, was found dead on Friday at her home in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 25 years old. 

According to a press release from DA Jared Effler obtained by Fox News, her death is being investigated but it's "premature" to label it murder. 

"On Friday, November 12, 2021, the Fentress County Sheriffs Office and the Regional Forensic Center began an investigation into the death of Hannah Marie Price, age 25," the release started.

"This is a death investigation and any attempt to classify it as a homicide investigation at this time is premature and irresponsible. 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," it concluded.

"I am still processing the last 24 hours," the singer, 41, wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of Hannah. "I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken. I just recently lost my mother to cancer but I was blessed with the chance to say goodbye and I was processing it privately. We never got to say goodbye to our precious Hannah and it’s another huge hit to our family."
