Last Friday in Nashville, Tennessee, the Davidson County Medical Examiner’s Office released Cady Groves’ cause of death. They said the singer passed away from complications due to chronic ethanol abuse.

Ethanol, or ethyl alcohol, is the main liquid ingredient in beer, liquor, and wine. The artist was found dead in bed by a roommate who had not seen her for a few days.
