On Sunday evening, people were shocked by bad news of Mindy's sudden passing. She was found dead in Heber Springs, Ark. She was 37. The Cleburne County Sheriff's Office later issued a statement to confirm the singer's death.
It said, "At 3:31 PM, Sunday, February 17th Deputies from the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a report of gun shots fired in the area of 1132 Fox Chase Drive in Heber Springs. Officers arrived on the scene at 3:58 PM and discovered the body of 37 year old Melinda Gayle McCready on the front porch of the residence at 1132 Fox Chase."
"Ms. McCready was pronounced dead at the scene from what appears to be a single self-inflicted gunshot wound. At this time family members have been notified of the incident. Ms. Mcready will be transported to the Arkansas State Crime Lab for an autopsy and the matter will be fully investigated."
Mindy's death news came as a big surprise since her boyfriend, David Wilson, had just passed away at the age of 34 around a month ago. There was no specific details on the cause of his death, which caused Mindy's life to go on a downward spiral.
The "Guys Do It All the Time" singer had previously attempted suicide in 2005 and in 2008. She had also checked into rehab for several times and appeared in 2010 on the VH1 reality show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew."
