The troubled life of Mindy McCready has come to an end. The 37-year-old country singer and mother of two young boys was found dead on Sunday of an apparent suicide.

"Ms. McCready was pronounced dead at the scene from what appears to be a single self-inflicted gunshot wound," reads an official statement from the Arkansas Cleburne County Sheriff's office, according to E! News.

Since her single "Guys Do It All the Time" hit No. 1 in 1996, McCready has battled drug and alcohol issues, even doing time for violating probation. But recently things went from bad to worse: she was committed to a treatment facility last month after her fiance David Wilson died in what is being investigated as a suicide or a murder.

The country music world was devastated by the news of McCready's death and quickly took to Twitter to share their grief. "I grew up listening to Mindy McCready...so sad for her family tonight. Many prayers are going out to them..." Carrie Underwood tweeted. LeAnn Rimes wrote: "My heart goes out to Mindy McCready's family. I knew her well." And Wynonna Judd poured her heart out in a long series of tweets beginning with: "Oh my! Mindy. Dear sweet girl. This is so sad. It just breaks my heart what addiction continues to take from this life."

    Does it really matter, I think what sodahead actually cares about is who's winning the contest of posting the best tweets in which isn't appropriate considering that the tweets regard to a freaking suicide!!



    This is a disrespectful question.

    I hope and pray that Carrie keeps Mindy's memory alive through her
    music, and not through her life. I hope that Carrie can set a much
    more positive example in her life than Mindy did with hers.

    Are we seriously voting on tweets when someone just died?

    Why must you exploit this? Seriously, this isn't right.

    I think they all are gonna miss her. Just when she seemed to be getting back on her feet, her fiance died. That had to be part of what drove her over the edge. Praying for her two boys and the rest of her family.

    They're all good, just wanted to say, that so called TRIBUTES AFTER A PERSON HAS PASSED AWAY , are too little too late.
    Personaly I don't believe in posttoumus tributes, many do it to look good to begin with.
    You admire someone, let her/him know while they're alive, once they're gone, it's too late.

    i love her voice but in any event if you want to kill yourself im all for it were too crowded anyways but dont leave behind a child that someone has to care for wait until they are independent. i dont know a single person that would want to kill myself for even my sons. i like life too much nothing like that mourning coffee with an english muffin. who needs people.

    I don't know any of these i dots. Don't care. Mindy was a one hit wonder. Who cares if he weak minded ass killed herself? That's what happens when weak individuals can't handle life. She doesn't deserve anyone caring. She selfishly killed herself and left her children to fend for themselves. Now her children have to live without a parent.

    Then they are sorrily displaced. The bitch who took her own life is who you should feel sorry for. Her selfish desire to end her life left her children without a mother. Good for her. She got waht she wanted ,how about the children she abandoned? She didn't care what happened to them.Go pity someone who needs it. I don't.

    Who care about the most moving tribute there very young kids lefted with out a mom and one lefted without both. Times like this familys shouldn't have to deal with this on top of everything else. My thought and prays are with the boys and the family.

    I would investigate further into her death, women hardly ever use a gun. it's said that strength is born in the deep silence of long suffering hearts, suicide is simply having th fear of living grow stronger than the fear of dying...sad

    This depresses me. I hope her boys are okay. Sad that she left behind people who cared about her. Either way, Sodahead, I don't think anyone is concerned about the tributes.

    I would have voted for LeAnn Rimes, but is it that hard to spell "horrible" correctly?

    No offense to anyone including Carrie Underwood. But, how does one "grow up" listening to someone who is only 7 years older than them? Maybe I'm over thinking her statement. But it seems like such a contrived statement.
