(CNN) -- Country music star Mindy McCready was found dead Sunday at her home in Arkansas from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound, the local sheriff's office said in a statement. She was 37.
McCready leaves behind two boys, one of whom is 10 months old. The infant's father, record producer David Wilson, killed himself last month.
The singer struggled with addiction and mental illness, often publicly.
McCready burst onto the music scene in 1996 with her debut album "10,000 Angels" and the chart-topping hit "Guys Do It All the Time."
