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."

Tell us more about how people with mental illness should be forced to not have children or pets.

It's so cute how you have more empathy for the severely mentally ill than you do the people they hurt or kill

It's pretty fuckign distrurbing that you want to take the rights away from the mentally ill.

punishermax is being incredibly obnoxious in this post, but you really do see things too black and white. What exactly is the definition of severely mentally ill?

Only under extreme circumstances

ODing while pregnant seems fairly extreme

Some women have no signs of depression their entire lives until the first trimester of pregnancy. Depression with pregnancy is extremely common, as is postpartum which is more widely talked about. A woman can be perfectly healthy and decide she wants to have children and then suffer from crippling depression during her pregnancy and after. So maybe women just shouldn't have children? ...In your point of view, because they run the risk of becoming mentally ill and depressed and harming themselves or their child. Yea. No. Perfectly "normal" (normal being a term up for debate here) people kill their children and/or their dogs. You can't police people's bodies when no two people are the same.

Perhaps Mindy was a danger to herself and others. Where were her doctors? Where were her family and friends? Most mentally ill patients don't willingly walk into treatment centers and get help on their own.

And just a general side note not directed at anyone in particular. I don't think anyone should compare this to Sandy Hook shooting. They are two completely different incidents and I don't see how they're remotely comparable, even in the scope of mental illness.

She probably killed the dog because he had the bullet in his mouth from her husband. She probably didn't want the dog rummaging through her dead body too.
