Sadly, the suicide death of Mindy McCready doesn't come as too big of a surprise. She had openly stuggled for many years... she even joined the cast of "Celebrity Rehab 3" with Dr. Drew Pinsky.
But Dr. Drew told buzzfeed.com McCready was devastated after the January death of her boyfriend, David Wilson, and he believes that prompted her to apparently commit suicide on Sunday. He said he spoke to the 37-year-old singer after Wilson’s death, and she was going to seek help.

“Although she was fearful of stigma and ridicule she agreed with me that she needed to make her health and safety a priority,” he stated. “Unfortunately it seems that Mindy did not sustain her treatment.”

Pinsky called McCready a “lovely woman” and said she would be missed.

Sadly, McCready isn’t the first of Pinksy’s patients to die. The singer is the fifth celebrity to pass away since appearing on Pinsky's show and the third from Season 3. Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr and "Real World" participant Joey Kovar both died of overdoses. Rodney King and Jeff Conaway, from the series' second season, also both died after their appearances on the show.
