Chris Daughtry’s family has confirmed the cause of death for his stepdaughter Hannah Price in a statement released on Wednesday.
Price, 25, was found dead in her home on November 12. The cause of death was confirmed by her family as suicide while under the influence of narcotics, according to a statement released to People Magazine.
“Our beloved Daughter Hannah Price passed away on November 12th, 2021,” the statement read. “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 revealed Price had previously lost her biological father to suicide and had been using drugs prior to her death.
“As Hannah got older, she struggled to find her footing and began using drugs and often found herself in abusive relationships,” the statement read. “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.”
The family asked for “continued privacy” as they grieve their loss and encouraged those struggling with addiction, abuse, or suicidal thoughts to reach out for help.
“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 said in the statement.
“We ask for your continued privacy at this time while we grieve. If you or a loved one is experiencing mental health, abuse, or addiction problems, please seek help immediately.

Following Price’s death in November, Daughtry postponed several shows and released a post on Instagram over the loss of his stepdaughter.
“I am still processing the last 24 hours. I am absolutely devastated and heartbroken,” he wrote.
“I just recently lost my mother to cancer but I was blessed with the chance to say goodbye and I was processing it privately,” he added. “We never got to say goodbye to our precious Hannah and it’s another huge hit to our family.”
Price’s mother, Deanna Daughtry, also released an emotional tribute to her firstborn child on Instagram following the death in November.
“My first born. I love you endlessly Hannah. Our family would like to thank you all for the outpouring of love as we grieve the loss of our daughter Hannah. We are awaiting the autopsy results to determine how Hannah sustained the injuries that caused her death. Our hearts are broken,” she wrote.
