In a tweet on Sunday (May 3), Cody Groves, the brother of pop-country singer-songwriter Cady Groves, revealed his beloved sister had passed away. She was 30 years old.
“[Cady Groves] has left this world. Details are limited right now but family is trying to get them and will keep people updated. Rest In Peace little sis,” he wrote.
Cody also said he hoped she had a reunion with their brothers Kelly and Casey, both of whom passed away at the age of 28. The Nashville based artist was the youngest of seven children.

According to a follow up tweet a few hours later, Cody felt the need to clear up some rumors about how his sister had passed away.
“Apparently the world and internet is a cluster of misinformation,” he wrote. “In my original post I had stated we had no information to try and prevent that, but to expel rumors I will provide and update. The medical examiner has completed [an] autopsy and there was no indication of foul play or self harm. Simply put, Cady Groves died of natural causes.“
Cody also explained that Cady had medical problems last fall and his family believes those problems returned, causing her death.

When a Twitter user challenged him by saying, “People do not die of ‘natural causes’ at age 30,” Cody rebutted writing, “I didn’t say old age…’Death from natural causes might be old age, a heart attack, stroke, illness, or infection.‘”
Cady is best known for her 2011 single “This Little Girl,” which features a Blake Shelton cameo in the music video. You can see him around the 1:36 mark.
Cady last tweeted on April 23, and prior to that, she was pretty active on social media, updating her fans on what she’d been up do during her quarantine.
Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends. See her last social media post below.
