In a statement to People, Chris and his family confirmed Hannah‘s death was suicide.

“Our beloved Daughter Hannah Price passed away on November 12th, 2021,” the statement reads. “Much speculation has been made since that date, and after a full investigation by law enforcement we are now able to speak in further detail.”

The statement went on, revealing that Hannah had struggled with mental illness “from a young age,” and “was in and out of therapy and treatment centers” over the years.

“As Hannah got older, she struggled to find her footing and began using drugs and often found herself in abusive relationships,” it continued. “Just months after losing her biological father to suicide, Hannah was the victim of a crime and was shot in the face. We did everything we could to support her and get her the help she needed to recover from these tragedies and get her life back on track. We had just recently made plans with Hannah for her to seek further treatment and move closer to the family.”

On the morning of her death, Hannah had contacted her family members and told them she “was in fear for her life” after her boyfriend allegedly physically abused her and took her car, according to the statement. The family said they immediately called the Fentress County Police Department to perform a wellness check, and they did, leaving without incident after speaking to her and determining that she was “OK” just before 1 p.m.

She was later found dead by hanging by her boyfriend, who called 911. She was pronounced dead at the scene, and an investigation by Fentress County DA, Fentress County Sheriff Office and the Knoxville Medical Examiners Office determined her official cause of death with no evidence of foul play, according to the statement.

Her official cause of death is suicide while under the influence of narcotics .

“Hannah was a generous and loving person who wanted more for herself and others. She will forever be in the hearts and minds of those of us who love her,” the family shared. “We ask for your continued privacy at this time while we grieve.
