Mindy McCready found dead in her home at 37 HEBER SPRINGS, Ark. — They seemed so triumphant at the time: the lyrics to country music star Mindy McCready’s hope-filled title track to her most-recent album “I’m Still Here.” Now, those words sound like a cry for help. “On a cold dark cloud, with nowhere to fall but down, like a single, naked, unrelenting tear … I’m still here.” On Sunday, McCready, whose turbulent personal life overshadowed her music, was found dead on the front porch of her Arkansas home — the victim, authorities said, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. She was 37. McCready leaves behind two boys — a 6-year-old and a 10-month-old. Just a month earlier, police had paid another visit to the house in Heber Springs. On that day, they found the infant’s father — record producer David Wilson — dead on the porch. HEBER SPRINGS, Ark. — They seemed so triumphant at the time: the lyrics to country music star Mindy McCready’s hope-filled title track to her most-recent album “I’m Still Here.” Now, those words sound like a cry for help. “On a cold dark cloud, with nowhere to fall but down, like a single, naked, unrelenting tear … I’m still here.” On Sunday, McCready, whose turbulent personal life overshadowed her music, was found dead on the front porch of her Arkansas home — the victim, authorities said, of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. She was 37. McCready leaves behind two boys — a 6-year-old and a 10-month-old. Just a month earlier, police had paid another visit to the house in Heber Springs. On that day, they found the infant’s father — record producer David Wilson — dead on the porch. He too had apparently taken his own life. He too had used a gun. Local law enforcement confirmed the incident happened around 4 p.m., according to a report by MyFox8.com in North Carolina. A source also told E! News that McCready's father was with her shortly before she took her own life, and the singer was reportedly "in good spirits and seemed to be fine," when he left. McCready, who rose to stardom after the 1996 album "Ten Thousand Angels," had attempted suicide twice before in 2005 and 2008. Her legal troubles and struggles with alcohol have also been well-documented. Her criminal records includes arrests for drug offenses, battery and drunken driving, and she appeared on VH1's Celebrity Rehab in 2010.
