Luke Bryan has addressed the "misinformation" surrounding the sudden death of his sister.
During an appearance on Wednesday's episode of the All There Is with Anderson Cooper podcast, Luke reflected on losing Kelly Bryan Cheshire at the age of 39 in 2007. The star touched upon why their family had "never really explained" how his sibling had died.
"There's some misinformation out there on the internet, and I think some people kind of like, wonder what happened and think that we've tried to cover it up," he shared. "A very very small percentage of people that die for no reason in the world."
He continued, "It's called sudden death syndrome and that's essentially what they described my sister's death as."
Describing the loss as "tragic beyond words", Luke revealed Kelly had been doing laundry and it was like "somebody just turned the switch off on her".
The family were left with so many "unanswered questions" about the mother-of-three's death after the autopsy failed to offer any answers.
Luke continued, "We wanted to know, could there be a family history of something that her children might have or may have? Your typical findings of an autopsy of someone 39 would be an aneurysm or an embolism or a blood clot of some kind - and everything was inconclusive."
According to Luke, Kelly had a "pretty severe" orbital bone injury at the time of her passing and her loved ones questioned if that contributed to her death.
"So whether she fainted or not... she may have went into the floor and kind of knocked herself out," he added.
Kelly was alone when she died and Luke, 49, has often wondered if she might have survived if someone had been there to help her.
Describing her as the "best mother you could ever dream of", Luke insisted Kelly had been "everything in our lives" and admitted the family were still trying to come to terms with her death.
