US country singer Mindy McCready dead of apparent suicide: Sheriff

Country music star Mindy McCready, whose albums include Ten Thousand Angels and If I Don't Stay the Night, has died at age 37 apparently from a self-inflicted gunshot wound, an Arkansas sheriff said on Sunday.

McCready was found dead on the porch of a house in Heber Springs, Arkansas, on Sunday afternoon with what appears to be "a single self-inflicted gunshot wound," the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.
