Country singer Mindy McCready committed suicide almost 1 month after her late boyfriend, David Wilson took his own life. The "I'm Still Here" apparently shot her late boyfriend's dog and herself. The troubled Country star once sung about her troubles in her music saying, "On a cold dark cloud, with nowhere to fall but down, like a single, naked, unrelenting tear ... I'm still here."

The celebrity leaves behind two sons, 6-year-old Zander and 10-month-old Zayne. According to CNN, her representatives said that the children will be taken care of, "Zayne and Zander are loved, cared for and comfortable with foster families at this time."
