Did Gary Allen's wife commit suicide?

Answer 1

Angela Herzberg, 36, wife of country singer Gary Allan (Gary Allan Herzberg), died by suicide on October 25, 2004, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Angela passed away at their home in Hendersonville, Tennesse, near Nashville.

Hendersonville Police officers were called to the residence at 1:20 a.m. and found Angela with the fatal wound.

Gary and Angela were married for three years and had six children from previous marriages. They moved to Hendersonville from Huntington Beach, California in 2003.

Gary's record label, MCA Nashville, issued the following statement: "We ask for your prayers for Angela's family and friends and especially for the children during this unimaginable time in their lives."

And Gary issued the following statement: "Words simply cannot express our gratitude for the love and caring that's been displayed in the past several days. Our most sincere thanks go out to everyone for their support."

Funeral services were held on October 28th in Madison, Tennessee, and Angela was laid to rest on the following day at the Rose Hill Cemetery in Cleburne, Texas.

Angela had several problems that contributed to her suicide. She had struggled with depression for several years and had taken antidepressants on and off. And because untreated depression is the number one cause for suicide, it is most probable that Angela's depression was the primary cause for her suicide.

Angela also suffered from severe migraine headaches and was prescribed several medications to treat them, and she began taking a new medication a few days before her suicide. Her migraine headaches were extremely intense shortly before she died, and thus the headaches were most probably another cause for her suicide; and the new medication may have also been a contributory factor.

It must be remembered that people die by suicide to end their pain. And a combination of depression and intense migraine headaches can cause seemingly unbearable physical and emotional pain.

Also, people who are suffering from depression cannot think clearly. They have a chemical imbalance in their brain, and thus they believe that dying by suicide is something that they "need to do" to stop their pain.

Anyone can die by suicide. Anyone. Those who think that they are immune have not yet suffered from a neuorological disturbance that could cause suicidal thoughts.

It also should be noted that Angela struggled with an eating disorder that began when she was a flight attendant. Airlines maintain stringent weight requirements, and Angela was pressured to maintain an "ideal" weight. Thus, it is possible that Angela's eating disorder also contributed to her suicide.

Survivors include Angela's children, Ty, Cole, and Stormy Sees; Gary's children, Maggie, Dallas, and Tanna Herzberg; Angela's father, Gary Forsythe; mother, Dianna Forsythe; sisters, Shanna Nash and Dana Phillips; brother, Robert Moser; and Melody Simpson and Barbara Robinson.

Angela Herzberg was a wonderful, caring person.

She was a loving wife and an excellent mother.

She is now an angel.

We miss you Angela.
