An Oklahoma country singer dies in his sleep just hours after his wedding.
Friends, colleagues and especially the widow are shocked.
USA/Oklahoma - It was supposed to be the happiest day of Jake and Branda Flint's lives.
The couple said yes on Saturday.
Mike Hosty played at the celebration, writes
Bild.
The musician reports that it was raining cats and dogs - but that wouldn't have caused a bad mood.
"I still have mud in my old van, but it was a fun wedding," the one-man band said.
Then, a few hours after the wedding, the unbelievable happened: the groom died in his sleep at the age of 37.
Just a few weeks ago, Flint posted a photo just before an appearance on Instagram.
It's always tragic when loved ones die.
But shortly after the wedding - that hurts a lot.

Brenda Flint, Jake Flint's widow, has said her heart "stopped" after the sudden death of her husband, according to
independent.co.uk.
"We were supposed to be reviewing wedding photos," she posts on Facebook.
"But instead I have to choose clothes for my husband's funeral." It was not intended that people should feel so much pain.
Her heart is broken.
"I really need him back.
I can't take much more.
I need him here."
Flint's longtime publicist, Clif Doyal, told
The Oklahoman
, "He was not only a customer, he was a good friend and just a super nice guy." As you can see from the many reactions on social media, he was loved by everyone.
Country singer Flint was a sociable person and had an incredible sense of humor.
“He made everyone laugh and made everyone feel welcome.
He was an ambassador for Oklahoma red dirt music."
Flint, 37, lived in Tulsa and grew up in Holdenville.
The cause of his death is not yet clear.
