Billy Strings is opening up about the unexpected death of his mother, Debra Apostal, which happened in June.

Strings — whose legal name is William Lee Apostal — says his mom wasn't sick leading up to her death. In the immediate aftermath of the tragedy, he had no idea what killed her.

"We're all sitting around — 'Oh man, I wonder if it was an aneurysm? I wonder if it was a heart attack? Think she had a blood clot?'" Strings recounts during a recent conversation on the Dopey podcast, which is hosted by David Manheim and centers around stories of drug addiction and recovery.

"She just died like that. Like, wow, that's so crazy," he continues.
