NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The son-in-law of country music star Alan Jackson and Nashville prosecutor has died in a fall in Florida.

Citing a Davidson County District's Attorney's Office release, news outlets report 28-year-old Ben Selecman died Wednesday. He was at a boat dock in Jupiter, Florida, when he slipped, suffering traumatic head injuries.

District Attorney Glenn Funk called the assistant district attorney a "rising star."

Selecman married Jackson's daughter, Mattie Jackson Selecman, in October 2017. She owned restaurant Salt & Vine until it closed in June.
