Famous country singer Craig Strickland's death has been ruled accidental by the office of the Oklahoma Medical Examiner. Hypothermia was the cause of death for the late singer.

After Craig was reported missing on Dec. 27, he and his friend, Chase Morland, were found dead on Jan. 4, ET reported. The rescuers had a hard time locating his body due to his camouflage hunting gear that he wore during the hunting trip.

On Jan. 12 in Arkansas, the country singer was buried underneath a cedar tree, according to Taste of Country. Helen, his wife, took an Instagram photo and wrote that they found Craig under a cedar tree and it was fitting that they should bury him underneath one.

We found Craig under a cedar tree, and so it was only fitting that we should find one for him to rest under. "He loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of the steadfast love of the LORD." Psalms 33:5 We held Craig's memorial last night and we are already seeing God's steadfast love through lives being changed due to hearing the legacy of Craig's life and the message spoken about God's unfailing love for us. I've loved receiving stories from people all over the world. It has truly been amazing hearing from everyone, and it shows me how much God justifies every action that changes the course of our lives. If you didn't get a chance to watch the memorial I will be posting the link in my bio soon.

His wife always communicated with his fans on social media during the search for her husband, asking for prayers and updating them. The note that she put inside the jacket pocket of her husband before they buried him was shared after the memorial.

Helen wrote that they held the singer's memorial last night and they already saw how God's love has changed them. She added that she loved getting different stories from people all over the world and thanked them for their support.

Less than a week ago, the late country singer's widow took an Instagram photo of his burial site after she completed the arrangements on his headstone. The photo caption reads that she is thankful for everything and the family is happy with how his headstone turned out.

Even in the hardest of times we have so much to be thankful for! Today we set Craig's headstone and our family could not be more happy with how it turned out!! It's everything I'd hoped it would be ❤️ Beautiful and Unique! It's carved in the shape of AR, with a guitar and music notes over Fayetteville and Craig's quote at the bottom. This picture doesn't do "Signature Stone's" (out of Clarksville) handiwork justice! Thank you Matt Snow for doing a phenomenal job!!
