Alleged Paedophile Singer Daniel Lee Martin Commits Suicide At 54

Country singer Daniel Lee Martin, who was accused of child s*x crimes, is no more. Lee Martin, 54, committed suicide, reports foxnews.com.

The musician and former reality show host was found dead with apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound at his home, the Pasco County Sheriff’s Office said in a statement to foxnews.com on Saturday.

His body was found by officials when they arrived at his property to serve multiple arrest warrants that had been issued out of Tennessee.

Martin was accused of “three counts of s*xual exploitation on a minor, three counts of aggravated s*xual battery, one count of solicitation of a minor to commit rape of a child and two counts of committing an aggravated s*xual battery,” according to the statement.

He had threatened to harm himself prior to his death on Friday.

“Martin did not respond to attempts to make contact with him… The PSO SWAT team was called in to assist, as Martin previously made threats of harm against himself and others,” the sheriff’s statement continues.

According to the Tampa Bay Times, the country singer was arrested in late January on charges of lewd and lascivious exhibition and prohibition of certain acts in connection with obscenity.
