Troubled country singer Mindy McCready has died at the age of 37.
McCready was found dead at her home in Arkansas on Sunday evening from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, the local sheriff’s office said in a statement.
Throughout her career, McCready struggled with substance abuse and even appeared on the third season of Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew in 2010.
Her death comes a month after her partner, and father of her second child, David Wilson died of an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Three weeks after his death a judge ordered her to be committed to a treatment facility to cope with mental health and alcohol issues.
She is survived by her son Zander, 6, and Zayne, 10 months.
