Daniel Lee Martin, country singer and host of “Brotherhood Outdoors,” was found dead in his Pasco County, Florida, home Friday of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. He was 54.
Pasco deputies discovered his body when they arrived at Martin’s home to serve him with multiple warrants for his arrest that included three counts of sexual exploitation on a minor, three counts of aggravated sexual battery, two counts of committing an aggravated sexual battery and one count of solicitation of a minor to commit rape of a child.
Martin was scheduled for a court hearing Friday morning but when he failed to appear, authorities were sent to his home to pick him up.
“The PSO SWAT team was called in to assist, as Martin previously made threats of harm against himself and others,” a Sheriff’s statement reads. “When deputies made entry to the residence, they discovered Martin deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound.”
Martin was indicted in 2018 of child sex crimes in Williamson County, Tennessee, having been accused of acts against three victims under the age of 13 between May 2014 and January 2018. He was arrested again last month in Florida, accused of exposing himself to a young girl, showing her pornography and performing a lewd act in her presence, according to court documents.
Martin was a former baseball player and pro golfer who left a successful career as an advertising executive in 1997 to pursue his dream of becoming a country music recording artist, according to AllMusic.com. At various times he opened for Willie Nelson, Charlie Daniels and Vince Gill.

At least it’s someone pretty much nobody else has heard of either - unlike commenters who “never heard of” people who’ve sold 10 million records, won 5 Oscars, etc.
I have no idea who this is.
To bad this man didn’t go to one of the numerous public beaches on the Gulf coast and just walk into the water and keep going. He will not be seen in larger society as community values being so strong he couldn’t exist in his community to being martyr to a hypocritical and judgmental social group who vilified and shunned him. Bottom line, to libs all religion sucks (except muzzardry} but evangelicals suck the most.
Ever heard of him? Crap new country? Dunno.
Lots of strange things happen in Pasco County.
Prayers for a misguided soul.
Prayers to his victims...and yes, even to his family. His family needs prayers, too.
He used to live in Hernando County up in Spring Hill in 2018 when he was divorced.
There was a country artist living a few houses over from me, whose gorgeous but sneaky white shepherd kept killing my turkeys and chickens, because the relative that was supposed to be feeding the dog [while they were separated several years back] wasn’t doing the job. I wonder if it’s the same guy.
