Singer Mindy McCready Hospitalized After Apparent Suicide Attempt

Troubled country singer Mindy McCready was hospitalized Wednesday after an apparent suicide attempt, according to New York’s Daily News.

Police and paramedics were called to a Nashville home where McCready, 33, was staying and immediately transported her to a hospital after they found wounds on her wrists, the Daily News reports.

“We responded to a ‘10-63,’ that’s a suicidal person call. Mindy McCready was at the house,” said Kris Mumford, a Nashville Police Department spokeswoman, tells the newspaper. “Apparently she called the mother of her roommate and said some things that caused the mother concern. She called authorities. We responded with paramedics, who took her to a local hospital.”

The singer — who entered rehab over the summer after suffering a nervous breakdown — also tried to take her own life in 2005 after swallowing a nearly fatal dose of pills with wine.

In October, she was released from a Tennessee jail in October after serving half of a 60-day sentence for violating her probation for prescription drug fraud.
