Luke said it took an extended period of time to find out exactly why his sister had died, and said everything surrounding her death was "inconclusive." He also recalled Kelly had suffered an orbital bone injury, which he surmised was the result of her falling and knocking herself out.
Tragedy revisited Bryan's family ... Kelly's husband, Ben Cheshire, died after suffering a heart attack eight years after his wife's death, according to Us Weekly.
The singer subsequently adopted their three children, Jordan, Kris, and Tilde, who were raised alongside his children, Thomas and Tatum.
Luke said he was happy to have been able to take in his sister's kids, and said it was "just what you do as family."
