Mindy McCready Autopsy: Preliminary Results Revealed

Music City News Media

HEBER SPRINGS, Ark. - Authorities in Arkansas said preliminary autopsy results confirm country music singer Mindy McCready's death was a suicide.

The Cleburne County sheriff said in a statement Wednesday that preliminary autopsy results from Arkansas' state crime lab show McCready's death was a suicide from a single gunshot wound to the head.

Investigators have said McCready apparently shot and killed her late boyfriend's dog before she turned the gun on herself Sunday at her home in Heber Springs, Ark. Authorities found McCready's body and the dog on the front porch where her longtime boyfriend, musician David Wilson, died last month of a gunshot wound to the head.

Authorities are investigating Wilson's death as a suicide but haven't determined an official cause of death yet.

God please shut up the unhearted people! Mindy tried to get help and everyone always has to say something bad about everyone.... Means.. Who really even cared? Its sad. How people down one another.... What if it were you? Your family member? Your child? Would you want to hear the negative? I would think not. Next time you hear someone say... I really want to die... Please listen to them.. They are asking for someone to care and to listen to them. HELP dont hurt others.

She had lost everything, boyfriend, kids, parents screwing up her life again. So she killed herself in the same spot her "soulmate" did a month before. It reflects on us as human beings that the world could be so empty and without compassion and understanding that someone felt this was the only way to go. She didn't even have faith that someone would take care of her dog so she took it with her...so soo sad...not for Mindy...she is fine now...I am sad for us. How ugly people have become. "Let's Talk About Love" listen to her song. She sang of hope and how people reach out. poor girl to a homeless family, dying child to others, Jesus to us...Too bad no one was there to reach out to her.

She wanted to kill herself and she succeeded; so why all the long faces? The only 2 people I\'m praying for are her 2 adorable sons. Hopefully, these boys will have a good life.

I only hope no one ever has to turn to you for compassion because you don't seem to have any.
