Mindy McCready killed her dog before committing suicide

On Sunday, sources close to country singer Mindy McCready confirmed that the one-time chart-topper, who went on to appear on "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew," committed suicide via self-inflicted gunshot on Sunday. Now, reports have surfaced that before McCready shot herself on her front porch, she shot her family dog. According to TMZ, neighbors reported hearing the two gunshots.

The dog, oddly, was a key figure in an investigation into the death of McCready's longtime boyfriend, David Wilson. Wilson died from a gunshot wound on January 13, 2013. McCready told NBC that her dog found the bullet.

"I didn't find the bullet, the dog did. It was in the dog's mouth. I mean, that's a horrific things to say, but it was in the dog's mouth," she said in an interview following Wilson's death. There had been some speculation as to whether Wilson's death was a suicide or whether there was foul play involved. When asked if she killed her boyfriend, McCready told NBC, "Oh my God, no. He was my life, we were each others' life."

McCready had plans to honor Wilson's memory. "Some kind of foundation for people to donate in David's name, probably something having to do with music, a scholarship fund," she told "Dateline." "David loved music more than anything. And he desperately wanted his music to be heard."

On the news this morning they were speculating about this because apparently she really loved the dog a lot so they were thinking that she might have wanted the dog to be with her. :\

In a strange way, I kind of understand that logic.

It could have been that she thought that he would end up in a shelter, either to be put down eventually or kept in a cage pretty much in perpetuity.

This is what I was thinking.

Yeah this makes a lot more sense to me than the overly romantic "he's going to heaven with her!" type thing.

I kind of wonder, if that's true, maybe her kids will feel like she loved the dog more than them?

that's what i was guessing. i think i've heard this line of thinking before and it's probably really common in people who do something like this.

I've heard it's often that or that they don't know who will care for it.

That was my first thought as well :(

That's what I thought.

That was my first thought. She did it because she wanted the dog buried with her or something to that effect. =(

It could be. depression and sadness is not clearly thinking and she loved that dog. When Halle Berry was on Oprah talking about her suicide attempt, she said she had her dogs in the car with her while the car running. They were close to her and she wanted them to be with her.

Depression is sad and an empty feeling when you feel you have lost everything. She probably worried about someone else not wanting to care for it.

Very sad either way. I feel sorry for her kids.

that was my thought when i heard it on the news. it's not uncommon for someone to proceed as she did.

whole thing is sad.
