According to Tennessee’s 8th Judicial District’s Attorney, the death of 25-year-old Hannah Daughtry – who was found dead at her home this past Friday – is not being investigated or classified as a homicide investigation.

"This is a death investigation and any attempt to classify it as a homicide investigation at this time is premature and irresponsible,” the D. A. said on Monday.

This statement is conflicting with other media reports that Hannah’s death was a homicide.

For example, TMZ reported Saturday afternoon that sources “directly connected” to the Daughtry family told the outlet that detectives allegedly informed the mourning family that their daughter’s death was a homicide.

The suspicion that Hannah’s death was a homicide possibly stems from the fact that her boyfriend, Bobby Jolly, was arrested for a reportedly unrelated matter the same day his girlfriend’s body was found at her home.

Bobby Jolly has reportedly not been named as a suspect or a person of interest in Hannah’s death.
