<p>The Judd family on Friday filed a court petition attempting to prevent documents related to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/country-music">country music</a> legend <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/naomi-judd">Naomi Judd</a>&#8216;s <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ashley-judd-reveals-how-her-mother-naomi-died">death</a> from being made public. Judd died in April, reportedly by suicide, at age 76.</p>
<p>The petition revealed new details into the late star&#8217;s death, including how her daughter, actress Ashely Judd, found her mother alive after the Grammy-winning singer shot herself. Ashley Judd was with her mother for some 30 minutes before help arrived, <a href="https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/2022/08/12/judd-family-sues-prevent-release-records-naomi-judds-suicide-death/10312849002/">according</a> to a report from The Tennessean.</p>
<p>“She obviously was suffering, and, as such, her days up until that moment were hurtful to her,” Ashley Judd <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ashley-judd-reveals-how-her-mother-naomi-died">said</a> during an appearance on “Good Morning America&#8221; following her mother&#8217;s death.</p>
<p>The petition was filed by Judd&#8217;s daughters, Ashley and Wynonna Judd, and husband Larry Strickland, whom Naomi Judd wed in 1989.</p>
<p>The petition says the release of video and audio interviews related to the death investigation would cause &#8220;significant trauma and irreparable harm.&#8221; The family is also seeking to keep personal medical information and police reports private, The Tennessean noted.</p>
<p class="gnt_ar_b_p">&#8220;I think Naomi Judd should be remembered for the way she lived and not in the matter in which she died,&#8221; the family said in their statements.</p>
<p>Namoi Judd&#8217;s death on April 30, notably one day before she was to be inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame, shocked the music industry, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ashley-judd-reveals-how-her-mother-naomi-died">The Daily Wire</a> reported at the time.</p>
<p>“Mother used a firearm,” Ashley Judd revealed following the death. “That’s the piece of information that we are very uncomfortable sharing, but understand that we’re in a position that if we don’t say it, someone else is going to.”</p>
<p>“It was a mixed day,” the actress recalled. “I was at the house visiting, as I am every day, and mom said to me ‘will you stay with me?’ and I said: ‘Of course I will.’”</p>
<p>Ashely Judd briefly left to greet a family friend, she said, and upon returning discovered her mother. “I went upstairs to let her know that the friend was there and I discovered her,” she said. “I have both grief and trauma from discovering her.”</p>
<p>Referring to her mother&#8217;s struggle with mental illness, Ashely Judd added that her mom&#8217;s &#8220;brain hurt. It physically hurt.”</p>
<p>Notably, Naomi Judd left complete control of her estate and fortune, believed to be worth $25 million, to Strickland, earmarking nothing for her two daughters, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/naomi-judd-cut-daughters-out-of-25-million-will-report">The Daily Wire</a> reported.</p>
<p>The &#8220;Why Not Me&#8221; singer reportedly made no mention of her famous daughters in the will, and it&#8217;s unknown if Naomi Judd instructed Strickland to divide her assets.</p>
