Mindy McCready

Since country singer Mindy McCready took her own life on Sunday, February 17, 2013, there's been quite a bit of speculation about the so-called 'Celebity Rehab' curse. Now, Dr. Drew Pinsky (who headed up the reality television show for its three-season run) has spoken out about her suicide, saying he wished she had completed a longer stay in treatment just prior to her death.

During one of Mindy McCready's final conversations, the singer describes finding her dying boyfriend, David Wilson, and the miserable and frantic two hours that followed. The phone call was reportedly taped one day before she died and made available on Monday night.

From promising 21-year-old country star to tortured addict and mother of two little boys, Mindy McCready's life was lived in the spotlight of public adulation and criticism. The singer died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on February 17, 2013. She leaves behind a devastated family that tried so hard to help her and two beautiful children that will forever wonder, "Why?"

Billy McKnight -- Mindy McCready's ex-boyfriend and the father to her oldest son, Zander -- says he's not surprised that the singer took her own life on Sunday afternoon. Right now he is worried for his son, as well as McCready's son with David Wilson, 10-month-old Zayne.

One day before Mindy McCready was found dead of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, the singer sent a private investigator she had been working with a cryptic message. It was a single frame from a video they had been working on together of McCready singing a song called 'I'll See You Yesterday.'

The death of Mindy McCready has caused an outpouring of emotional responses from country artists who knew the troubled singer, as well as those who only heard her music growing up. The 37-year-old 'Ten Thousand Angels' hitmaker took her own life on February 17, 2013, barely one month after her boyfriend and the father to her youngest son died.

Mindy McCready is dead. Local law enforcement has confirmed the news, also speculating that the country singer took her own life. She was 37.

Mindy McCready is back home, but her sons are not. The singer was released from a treatment facility and will undergo 21 days of outpatient treatment, although sources say drug and alcohol tests revealed nothing suspicious.

In another sad development in the life of Mindy McCready, the troubled country singer has reportedly been committed to a treatment facility, and her children have been placed in protective care by authorities in the state of Arkansas.

Custody arrangements for Zander -- Mindy McCready's 6-year-old son with ex-husband Billy McKnight -- are once again in dispute, as McKnight has filed multiple motions with regards to McCready's parenting and rocky personal life. He's asking for primary custody of the boy, and has filed additional motions to compel McCready to submit to drug and alcohol testing and undergo a psychological evaluatio
