Country singer Daron Norwood has passed away at 49 years old, the Associated Press reported.
Investigators say foul play is not suspected. A cause of death is pending, and his body shows no signs of trauma. The landlord stopped to check on Norwood, let himself in and found the singer’s body in a bedroom.
Norwood “wasn’t ready at all and he just was saying all this insane stuff and we just freaked out and he told us to bow our heads and he was yelling at us and stuff”, one student told News Channel 10.
Daron was last seen hanging out with friends on Tuesday, July 21, according to reports.
Police were called to the “Cowboys Don’t Cry” singer’s apartment on Wednesday at approximately 2 p.m. after Norwood’s landlord found him unresponsive.
Norwood released his debut self-titled album in 1994, and the three singles from the record placed on Billboard’s U.S. Hot Country Songs chart, including his hit “Cowboys Don’t Cry”.
However, Norwood left the country music business in 1995 due to his battle with severe alcoholism.
The Lubbock-born country music singer produced two albums in the early 90s.
Norwood later formed an organization to speak to children about the dangers of drugs and alcohol, and he continued to perform and record sporadically, but his life still appeared troubled. There’s a guy who’s trying to do it different. “And I’m trying to keep it straight”.
