LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 1 (UPI) — Tracy A. Nunan says a drug overdose led to the death this week of her 19-year-old son Hunter Montgomery.
The young man was also the child of Nunan’s ex-husband, country music star Eddie Montgomery, who announced Sunday Hunter had died in Kentucky after “an accident” left him on life support.
“When a family asks for privacy, there is a reason,” Nunan said in a Facebook post.
“Grieving the loss of a child is the most heart-wrenching experience any parent can imagine. It defies description. Since the media refuses to respect our request for privacy, I’m taking another route in hope that we might get some peace for our grieving, and more important, in hope that Hunter’s story might help others,” her message continued. “Our son died of an overdose. We believe it was accidental and will continue to believe that. We know that he needed help. Maybe Hunter’s – and our family’s – pain will help another family avoid this. Not a day will go by without our missing him. Now that your curiosity is satisfied, please have the respect to stop hounding us. Instead, take our story and use it to help others.”
