(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.

Deputies from the Cleburne County Sheriff's Office were dispatched to a report of gunshots fired Sunday afternoon and found McCready's body on the front porch, the statement read.

McCready leaves behind two boys, one of whom is 10 months old. The infant's father, record producer David Wilson, died of an apparent suicide last month.

The singer struggled with addiction and mental illness, often publicly. She appeared in an episode of "Celebrity Rehab" three years ago with Dr. Drew Pinsky, who said he contacted her last month after her boyfriend's death.

"When I heard she was struggling, I did reach out to her and urged her to go to take care of herself, get in a facility if she felt she needed," said Pinsky, who hosts his own program on CNN's sister network HLN.

"Her biggest fear was the stigma of doing so and what people would think if she, God forbid, took care of herself. And this to me is the most distressing part of this story. She is a lovely woman, we have lost her, and it didn't have to go down like this."

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."

In the past few years, McCready waged a public battle for custody of her elder son, Zander. She took the boy from her mother, who had custody, and fled with him to her home in Arkansas, saying she had concerns over his safety.

A judge ordered authorities to pick up the boy, who was 5 at the time, and days later authorities found McCready hiding with Zander in a closet at her home.

Country music stars expressed their condolences Sunday on hearing news of McCready's death.

"I grew up listening to Mindy McCready ... so sad for her family tonight. Many prayers are going out to them," tweeted singer Carrie Underwood.

"It breaks my heart what addiction continues to take from this life," singer Wynonna Judd wrote in a series of tweets. "Addiction is a disEASE & not a character flaw. When the pain becomes too much, it causes people to want that pain to stop. This is just so unbelieveable & so sad."

A year ago, McCready posted excerpts of a book she said was upcoming about her life. She acknowledged a difficult upbringing, personal problems and the challenges she faced turning her life around.

"I haven't had a hit in almost a decade," she wrote in January 2012 on her official fan website. "I've spent my fortune, tarnished my public view and made myself the brunt of punch line after punch line. I've been beaten, sued, robbed, arrested, jailed, and evicted. But I'm still here. With a handful of people that I know and trust, a revived determination, and both middle fingers up in the air, I'm ready. I've been here before. I'm a fighter. I'm down, but I'll never be out."

She tried to kill herself two other times and this time it worked.  So in this case, owning a gun was the right choice.

Yeah, hard to mess up killing yourself with a gun.  Suicide is terribly sad, a good friend of mine who I used to train with for years killed himself a few years back, he hung himself from a tree.  He wasn't the unstable type, was always a solid dependable character, would have picked him as the last person to neck himself.  But it is what it is!

Knew a 27 yr old woman about 8 yrs ago who had an amazing personality. But when she was young, she found her mom hanging from the shower rod because mom couldn't deal with the divorce. Few years later she returned home to find her Dad had blown his brains out.. fast foward to 27 yrs old.. she offs herself with a couple bottles of tylenol because that messed her head up. Parents who commit suicide are selfish pricks.

Her ex boyfriend got charged with attempted murder and she was found beatin down and laying unconscious.

Easy to just brush her off as a "piece of shit" or whatever but the lady obvious had some serious issues as a result of those things.

Very sad news. She was a very sweet gal. Unfortnately with a lot of demons. People blame Addiction for these celebrity  deaths but addiction is just a symptom of something way deeper. She came from an abused childhood. That shit runs deep. Most people never get over childhood abuse and the rage, depression and pain that accompanies it. Her mother was a bitch who tried taking her child from her. No wonder the girl killed herself.

Personally, I think those that want to spit on the graves of people they have never met need SERIOUS mental help.  It was a dog for fucks sake, millions of dogs get put down every year, I don't' see you guys getting outraged about that and doing something to prevent such mass euthanasia.  You can never trust a person who values a dogs life more than a human one.
