Mindy McCready

[Rob]

Is dead....suicide

:sadangel:

[Chuck A]

very sad, indeed

[PortDawg]

That's the rumor...very sad for her two kids....

Permanent solution to temporary problems. :sadangel:

[VatorMan]

Selfish bitch.

[Black94lt1]

Very sad for her kids :(

[Burro (He/Haw)]

No clue who she was, I had to look her up.

Selfish.
Yeah, I'm gonna have to agree. The fact that she has two kids kinda seal it for me.

[Torqaholic]

You could have saved the rest of us that trouble :rofl:

[xXBUDXx]

Sad, but not surprising

[Burro (He/Haw)]

Sad, but not surprising

Why? I don't know jack shit about her. She some sort of head case?

[xXBUDXx]

Why? I don't know jack shit about her. She some sort of head case?

She had her demons

[Torqaholic]

She had her demons

Not enough u-tube visitors? :leaving:

[Stangkiller]

Why? I don't know jack shit about her. She some sort of head case?

She was being investigated for the death of her boyfriend.

[MEC5LADY]

Sad, but not surprising

:iagree:

She had her demons

Some people just can't overcome their demons. Sad for the ones they leave behind. :sadangel:

[Mirroredshades]

Never heard of her.

:meh:

[VatorMan]

For those saying "selfish" you do realize she suffered from depression right?

She's been in need of help for a very long time.

Sad this attempt at suicide succeeded.

F her for leaving her spawn for someone else to raise. She should have aborted any child she would have had. They will all have that gene that will feel the same way.

[LilRedCorvette]

According to E! News, McCready shot herself and her dog.

Selfish bitch.

:iagree: :issues:

[C5Nate]

Didnt her boyfriend just die a little while back?

I believe she also had a drug problem.


Grief and addiction is a bad combination.

Sad for all left behind.

[73sbVert]

Who?

[Sea Six]

Very sad. I loved her voice.

[Burro (He/Haw)]

And I read there's a sex tape. Why is there always a sex tape in these people's lives? From what I've read, she's a wreck and has been for some time.

[wwomanC6]

[xXBUDXx]

She was still a very pretty and talented artist. :sadangel:

[RedLS1GTO]

Her life was a constant WTF starting with an "affair" (if you can call it that) with Roger Clemens when she was only 15.

Drugs, depression, bad choices, bad influences, just... bad from start to finish.

I met her twice. Once in 1999 or so and the other time somewhere around 2001. She was as sweet as could be in person. You'd never guess she had so much going on behind a smile. :(

[RedLS1GTO]

The demons one can hide behind a smile are scary.

Ain't that the truth. I knew she was a bit of a trainwreck but I don't pay attention to the celebrity gossip and had no idea how bad she had gotten lately. Dead boyfriend, kids taken away, ... :ack:




Oh, and for the record, I personally always thought she looked best in this one...

Never heard of her. Sad story.

[Blademaker]

Some people overcome their demons by getting their shit together and their head screwed on straight.

Some people are selfish assholes that don't have the guts/fortitude to take care of the children they brought into this world.

Fuk her

[onedef92]

Heard that this a.m. So unfortunate. :sadangel:

[Yamma]

Sad to hear about it.....and that she thought this was the only solution. I guess after so many times in rehab, suicide attempts, etc, the demons just take over.

I hope her kids can move past it and turn out normal.

It certainly doesn't have to happen like this.

[69camfrk]

That's the rumor...very sad for her two kids....

Permanent solution to temporary problems. :sadangel:

Sad either way, but she had permanent problems. She just ended the suffering. Her mental problems were beyond repair. Too bad she had all that talent but couldn't hold it together.:sadangel:

[FasterTraffic]

She was still a very pretty and talented artist. :sadangel:

:iagree:

I really enjoyed her music. I have this one and maybe another:

You could tell from the way things have gone for her, though, it wasn't likely to be a happy ending.

:sadangel:

[oyealiz]

I cannot imagine at what point someone must be to take their own life, especially when they have children. Very sad. She had such talent and promise, but has been going downhill for so many years. I recall reports of a couple of suicide attempts in the past.

Was her act selfish? To me it seems so, yes. But in her head, she likely thought it was best for everyone concerned. Again, I cannot imagine at what point someone must be to do that, but mental illness is a horrible thing, especially when, as is so often the case, it is coupled with drugs as the person tries to deal with what's going on in their head.

Very sad all around. :(

If you've ever had close contact with someone who is mentally ill and fighting those demons, I think you're probably not so quick to say f 'em.

Feb 6, 1996, a co-worker took his own life. Left behind a wife and three boys.

Always seemed as if this guy just couldn't get a break...nothing would go as planned. Got labeled as a hot head after letting his frustration get the best of him once and spent years trying to repair the damage to no avail.

After supporting his family and putting his wife through college, she decided she didn't need him anymore and told him he needed to move out. He had a couple beers in him but decided to go cool off, gets pulled over, blows just over the limit and spends the night in the greybar hotel. Our company had a no tolerance policy so in addition to everything else...now he's in real danger of losing his job.

Two days later, he put notes around the house explaining how to program the VCR, turn on the surround sound, etc. Then went in the utility room, stuck a 12 ga. shotgun to his chest and...

He wasn't crazy, he just got tired of it all.

[Broken Wind]

If you or someone you love isn't dealing with depression, get on your knees and thank whatever deity you choose. The pain is beyond words.

[Doug28450]

The pain is beyond words.

Yes, it is.

And for people who are fortunate enough to not suffer with this, you don't understand.

While I don't condone suicide I understand it. Having so many demons and pain so bad that you just want it to stop is a feeling that is hard to put into words. Nobody wakes up one day and says "hey I think I'm going to be depressed and suicidal". The pain is all encompassing to the point you just want something to happen and even though you try to describe what you are going through words just don't seem to be enough. In a lot of ways you see how being depressed is affecting those around you that you start to think that instead of you suffering you also make others around you suffer. To get to the point you just want the pain to stop and want the suffering around you to stop you feel the best alternative is to end things. So in essence, people actually don't think of committing suicide as a selfish act but as a way to end not only their pain and suffering but the ones around them as well.

If you or someone you love isn't dealing with depression, get on your knees and thank whatever deity you choose. The pain is beyond words.

:iagree: The one thing I can say is the smiles hide a lot so know the warning signs of depression and suicide since there generally are warning signs that people don't pick up on until its too late.

[Milton Fox]

I recently saw a presentation on suicide by a local mother who lost her son to suicide. If only one person here benefits from the link below then it serves its purpose. I think that teaching our children about this illness will go along way towards addressing mental illness and erasing the stigma that persists. Think about seat belts, not smoking, saw no to drugs, and abstinace and how those campaignes have changed our world.

:iagree:

It's very easy to judge from the outside in, but unless you really know what is going on inside her head. Her reality gave her no other option unfortunately.

For her it was even worse. Not only was she dealing with her personal issues internally and with those immediately around her, she also had to deal with the damn media hounding her everywhere she went, constantly reporting on her and following her around hoping for her to fall down again so they could have the next "big gossip story". I couldn't imagine ever having to deal with that.

That's what I read today, too. And at the same location her boyfriend offed himself at earlier. :sadangel:

I commented on that on the first page (post 18 (http://www.thevettebarn.com/forums/888377-post18.html)) and was surprised I was the only one to until now.

I understand depression can be overwhelming, but taking others out with you (people, animals) I have an issue with. :mad:

[RedLS1GTO]

I missed the dog part...

Dafuq?? :skep:

You have to be absolutely batshit crazy to do that (as if there was any question left at this point).

Maybe it is the heartless bastard part of me, but I'm thinking the World is probably better off and even her poor kids will be better off with her gone. It must be heartbreaking beyond comprehension for your mother to do this but in the end, after the grieving, they now at least have a chance to move on. Not sure how old they are, but hopefully they will end up with guardians who raise them properly.

She probably shot herself in such a way as to leave a good-lookin' corpse. In my experience, women suicide victims are funny that way.

My bet is she didn't want her doggy chewing her body into an uglified state. :dunno:

Lock the dog in the house somewhere with some food and water... someone would find it soon enough. Worst case is it sh*ts on the floor a few times if it takes a while for someone to find.

Although I guess someone in the mental state to shoot themselves probably doesn't have a lot of room in their head for a simple, logical solution like that.

[Y2Kvert4me]

I understand depression can be overwhelming, but taking others out with you (people, animals) I have an issue with. :mad:While sad, the act of killing the dog first is likely what gave her the courage to do herself in.

That dog may have been her last glimmer of happiness. By eliminating it, only then could she completely reach the point of "nothing left to lose". The resulting adrenaline rush also aided her in accomplishing her own death.

[Rob]

One thing I read was that she shot the dog because it was the only "witness" to the death of her boyfriend. Additionally, it was the dog that found the bullet that killed her boyfriend.

Also - I have een where people have said that she shot the dog so that the, the dog, and the boyfriend could all be together in death as they were in life.

Either way - it is a sad case all around

[onedef92]

Or, maybe her warped nurturing instincts told her no one could care for the dog like she and her boyfriend did, so she decided to kill it, too. People can get awful attached to their pets.

I have only seen one person actually shoot themselves in the face and it was not the outcome they had hoped for. McCready died of a single gunshot to the head which is what I'm used to seeing. The majority of suicides I have seen by gunshot are usually in one side of the head and out the other depending on the gun and type of bullet used. Lately, it seems jumping in front of a train or OD'ing is the preferred method to off yourself.

[onedef92]

I thought I heard McReady put the pun under her chin and fired the bullet upward to her brain.

One of my Dad's brother's (Uncle Alvin) killed himself early Easter Sunday morning when I was about 7 or 8 years old. He shot himself in the chest with a .32 caliber pistol, then fell through the storm door in his kitchen.

My aunt told us she heard the shot, bolted to the front of the house then screamed in horror at the sight of him bloodied in his crew neck t-shirt and Bermuda shorts, lacerated by broken glass and propped up by the door frame. We never knew why. They didn't have fancy buzz words like" clinical depression" back then.

He was a brilliant mechanic who left my Dad a whole bunch of professional quality automotive tools. I used to delight myself in opening up the drawers and cases Dad stored them in in giddy anticipation of our next tune-up or repair project together....
