The country musician was born on April 14, 1932. Her father was a coal miner. That's why she was also known as the "coal miner's daughter."

What caused Loretta Lynn's death? The answer to this question was given by the singer's family. They confirmed that she died of natural causes.

Apart from the family statement, the causes of Loretta's death are being linked to the stroke she suffered from in May 2017. She was hospitalised for this five years ago.

According to sources, the country singer was not well after her heart stroke incident. Seven months after this happened, she fell at her residence.
