According to a new expose by Us Weekly magazine, Britney Spears grandmother Emma Jean Spears suffered from depression and committed suicide.

The mother of Britney's father Jamie shot herself at her 3-day old daughters grave when Jamie was just a child.

The magazine reveals, "Britney's paternal grandmother actually suffered from depression; she had lost her three-day-old baby and actually shot herself to death at the child's graveside."

Spears' grandmother was said to have slipped into a deep depression that she felt she couldn't recover from and took her life as a result.

That's a really tragic family secret for a magazine to expose, but that's the life of a celebrity. You trade in your privacy when you make your first million. It's like selling your soul to the devil.
