According to Dr. Wallis Marsh, the death of her cause was a blood clot in her lungs. She was discovered dead by her husband, George Richey, who was sleeping on a couch in the adjacent living room. He discovered his wife dead in the evening.
Tammy was 55 when she died, and Dolly Parton said that she would always be dear to her and would always be special. Tammy will always live in their memories. Reminiscing about her, Hillary Clinton said that Tammy Wynette was an American original and they would miss her. “We once made a record called One of a Kind,” said another in memory of Tammy.
Tammy was a truly loved soul, and it didn’t need any proof, but still, it was clear when fifteen hundred people attended her public memorial service at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium on April 9, 1998. It was covered in the media.
Following her death, her husband, George Richey, Wallis Marsh, and a drug company, Care Solutions, were sued by Tammy’s four daughters. They sued him when George refused to act along Tammy’s will as they believed that she was killed by George, who wanted to inherit her wealth.

According to Tammy’s will, her money has to be distributed among her four daughters, but George denies this, and that money was given to George and his brother. After this, it was discovered that a drug was being delivered to her death before her death. When the investigation was held, it was discovered that she was taking drugs, and several strong drugs, such as Versed and Phenergan, were found in her body at the time of her death.
Tammy was taking these drugs through a syringe and later was fitted with a permanent catheter that allowed drugs to enter her system directly, and it was also used to give her food. George dropped off his charges, and so was Care Solutions, and the doctor was settled with a settlement.
