On February 17th, 2013, famous country singer, Mindy McCready, was found dead at her home in Heber Springs, Arkansas. Just last month, her former boyfriend, music producer, David Wilson, was found dead in the EXACT SAME PLACE as her. Both suffered a single gunshot wound to head. Coincidence, right? The officials have ruled both deaths as suicide. David’s dog was also found dead with Mindy. It’s concluded that she shot the dog before taking her own life. I know. I know. Poor puppy. McCready’s close family and friends were not surprised by her suicide. They said she was dealing with drugs and alcohol abuse and “had demons she wasn’t beating.”

Honestly, I was very saddened by both deaths. Well, who’s happy about people taking their own lives? They left their one year old, Zayne, and Mindy also left her other son, Zander. Now they’re in foster care and all alone. Poor kids. They had a drug and alcohol addict mother whose love for them wasn’t enough. I think they had it worse than the puppy. But I just don’t get why McCready killed herself. She was only 37-young, pretty, and talented. She had loving family and friends and two beautiful sons. I bet if only she didn’t let her troubles and griefs drag her down, she could persevere through the hard times. From rock bottom, you can only go up. Sadly, not even her ten thousand angels can help her now.
