Mindy McCready Dead: Singer Dies From Apparent Suicide

Several news outlets, including FOX and E! News, are reporting that Mindy McCready has committed suicide. The country singer's best friend confirmed to NBC reporter Andrea Canning that she shot and killed herself Sunday (Feb. 17).

This news comes more than a week after the 37-year-old was released from a treatment facility for alcohol abuse. She had also undergone a mental health evaluation after family members questioned her ability to care for her two sons, 6-year-old Zander and 10-month-old Zayne. The late singer-songwriter was 10 days into her 21 day outpatient treatment, following the Jan. 13 death of her boyfriend, and Zayne's father, David Wilson.

"She was released because they think she is mentally stable enough, and she was tested for drugs and alcohol and everything came up fine," a source told E! News after Mindy's Feb. 7 release. "One of the reasons they released her is she didn't have any symptoms of what an alcoholic would have. There were no signs she had a problem to the doctor."

In January, the singer appeared on the "Today" show to address suspicion that she had been involved in Wilson's death, after officials began further investigation to determine whether the music producer had committed suicide. NBC's Andrea Canning asked the mother of two point blank if she killed her "soulmate." "Oh, my God, no. Oh, my God, no," she answered. "He was my life. We were each others' life."'

Rumors had circulated that the pair had fought over Wilson having an affair. Mindy confirmed an argument the night of his death, but said the accusation of infidelity was "absolutely, totally untrue."

While it is still unclear whether Wilson's gunshot wound was self-inflicted or not, when questioned Mindy wasn't able to answer whether she believed he had taken his own life or been murdered.

Mindy's children are presumably still in the custody of the Department of Human Services in Arkansas, where they were reportedly placed upon her involuntary commitment earlier this month.

Our thought and prayers are with Zander, Zayne and all of Mindy's family and friends.
 
That's too bad. I think it was a combination of addiction and unscrupulous people that ultimately lead to it.

She will be missed..

FYI - two threads has been merged.
 
I don't know her.

I am starting to feel weird because I get to know more about those people right after they passed away, like Farrah Fawcett, Amy Winehouse, etc. I am so behind with Musical Celebs.

RIP Mindy.

same.
 
My Facebook newsfeeds were all about the death of Mindy McCready. I'm not really familiar with her and I have to check with Google to get more info about her. This is sad news for country music lovers.
 
This thing is not really adding up:

"McCready also appears to have shot and killed a dog that belonged to her late boyfriend, record producer David Wilson, before shooting herself, Cleburne County Sheriff Marty Moss said Monday."

Above from CNN ^^^

I know suicide is an irrational act, but this just doesn't sound right. Obviously, there may have been some pent up hostility.

Very sad story about her life.
 
Celebrity Rehab curse?

Mindy is the fifth person from the show to die. :hmm:
 
These things should not be televised, even if you do become sober people are going to joke about your recovery.

It really has no place, other than a, "real" documentary, on TV.
