Country Artists We’ve Lost in 2013: Mindy McCready
Mindy McCready was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound on Sunday February 17. Her suicide comes one month after the death of her boyfriend David Wilson, and ends a troubled life that began with so much promise. McCready is best known for hit songs like 'Ten Thousand Angels' and 'Guys Do It.' The last decade of her life was marred by arrests, attempted suicides and struggles to keep custody of her son Zander. She was found in the same place as Wilson, on the porch they shared in Heber Springs, Ark.
