Rosey Nix Adams, the daughter of late country
star June Carter Cash was found dead in a parked tour bus on Friday evening.
The bus was parked behind a friends house in Clarksville, Tennessee.
Adams, 45, was also the step-daughter of
Johnny Cash, who died last month.
Adams along with veteran fiddler Jimmy
Campbell were reportedly discovered dead on the tour bus about 5:30 PM
local time by Philip Adams, the husband of Rosey Nix Adams.
The cause of death has not yet been determined.
Authorities say that carbon monoxide poisoning may be the cause. The Tennessean
reports that authorities also suspect that the bus was being used as a
drug lab.
Eric Reese of Montgomery County Emergency
Medical Service, who was one of the emergency personnel first on the scene
told a sheriffs deputy that he suspected a possible meth lab on the
bus.
Some drug paraphernalia was found on the
bus including needles and pipes. Authorities in early speculation point
towards six propane or kerosene heaters found on the bus which may have
led to carbon monoxide poisoning. Such heaters can be used to manufacture
or cook crystal methamphetamine.
Police warn people not to jump to any conclusions
at this point. ''We cannot pinpoint a cause, carbon monoxide poisoning
or drug overdose,'' Ted Denny, Sheriff's Department spokesman, said yesterday.
''It's just pure speculation until the coroner's report.''
