On January 13, McCready's boyfriend, David Wilson, dies of a reported self-inflicted gunshot wound.

She enters court-ordered rehabilitation on February 6 after her two sons are taken from her and placed in foster care. She is released two days later with the understanding she will undergo outpatient care.

McCready is found dead Sunday, February 17, on the porch of her Heber Springs, Arkansas, home apparently from a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound in the same house where the man she once described as her "soulmate" reportedly took his own life.
