Well said.
A family friend took his own life after a life long struggle with depression ... gun in the mouth. His oldest son found him in the back yard on his birthday. His dad was obviously not in his right mind to do such a thing. Truly a tragedy ... that case and this one.
HEBER SPRINGS, AR (KAIT)- The Cleburne County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to a report of gun shots fired in a residence around three in the afternoon on Sunday.
According to the Sheriff’s office, they arrived shortly before four in the afternoon and discovered the body of 37-year-old Melinda “Mindy” Gayle McCready on the front porch of the residence.
Reports of the country music singer broke on Twitter, and her website has been taken down.
Stacy McCloud, a reporter at FOX 17 in Nashville, tweeted:
“A close family friend of Mindy McCready has informed me that the country singer has committed suicide.”

My cousin did the same in ~1990. I feel bad for the police officer who witnessed it while trying to talk him down, his son who (at the time) vowed to never have kids of his own, and my aunt and uncle who went through such terrible pain.
His son now has a son of his own and is an awesome dad. The police officer is good friends with my aunt and uncle. My cousin I still pray for. He lived with me and my family for a while while he was trying to get back on his feet after a horrible divorce. I’m not sure he ever recovered from that.
She lived a tormented life. End and out of rehab. So damn good looking men tried to hit on her her entire life.
That sorry ass Roger Clemens started sleeping with her when she was 15 or 16. It went on for years. But of course Clemens denied it, then admitted he had “made mistakes in his life”. She tried to take her life four or five times. She finally did today. Just a damn shame. Had so much to live for, now it’s over. RIP.
