According to authorities in Heber Springs, Ark., country singer Mindy McCready's cause of death has been confirmed as suicide. Preliminary autopsy results indicate the 'Ten Thousand Angels' singer died as a result of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.

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.

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.

Sadly, this news is not a shock.  Over the years Mindy McCready has been in the news for all the wrong reasons.  From her addictions to bizarre behavior, it was apparent that she needed serious help.  Unfortunately, she never found that help and has apparently taken her own life.

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.

In a bizarre new twist to a story already more tragic than any country song, singer Mindy McCready is reportedly being investigated in relation to the recent death of her boyfriend, music producer David Wilson.

More details surrounding the untimely death of Mindy McCready's boyfriend, David Wilson, have been released, including new information that the recording producer died in an apparent suicide.

Mindy McCready has lost the man she calls her soulmate, and her son 9-month-old son, Zayne, has lost a father. McCready's boyfriend David Wilson was found dead on Sunday morning (Jan. 13). He was 34.

Mindy McCready continues to speak to the press about her recent actions, where she took her son Zander, 5, from her mother and step-father’s Florida home. The grandparents have custody of the boy, but McCready claims she had good reason to yank her son from his living situation.

Billy McKnight, Mindy McCready‘s ex-boyfriend and the father of 5-year-old Zander, spoke with the ‘Today’ show this week, but after his appearance found himself with more to say about McCready’s disappearance with his young son in tow. McKnight has since issued an official press release on the matter.

A court spokeswoman revealed today that Florida judge James H. Seals issued an “emergency” pick up order for Mindy McCready‘s 5-year-old son Zander, according to CNN. The troubled country singer took her son from her father’s Florida home earlier this week, though she does not have legal custody of him.

Mindy McCready‘s son is “safe, healthy and comfortable,” according to a press release from the singer’s publicity team. Previously it was reported that McCready and her 5-year-old boy Zander were missing after the 37-year-old picked him up from her father’s home in Florida. A rep at Music City News Media says that law enforcement officials have spoken to and seen the child via Skype as recently as
