CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Two bodies, including that of a daughter of
late country music singer June Carter Cash, were found in a bus
parked off a highway, authorities said.
Montgomery County Sheriff's Department spokesman Ted Denny released
few details, but he called the deaths ``suspicious.''
Officials said carbon monoxide from lanterns in the bus may have
caused the deaths Friday of Rosie Nix Adams and the man, whose
identity was being withheld until his family was notified.
Adams, 45, and her husband, Philip Adams, had recently sold a home in
Montgomery County and were preparing to travel in the bus, The Leaf-
Chronicle newspaper reported. They had parked the vehicle behind a
house on state Highway 12 for repairs.
Emergency Medical Service Lt. Mell James said dispatchers got a call
at 5:33 p.m. about the bodies from an unidentified man.
James told The Leaf-Chronicle that EMS workers found drug
paraphernalia, including needles and pipes, on the bus near the
bodies.
Rosie Adams was the daughter of June Carter Cash and Richard Nix. She
was a songwriter and had pursued a performing career. The Leaf-
Chronicle identified the man as a bluegrass fiddle player.
Adams' mother died in May and her stepfather, country superstar
Johnny Cash, died last month.
