She shot and killed her dog before taking her own life <http://yhoo.it/150HUQ0> , according to Cleburne County (Arkansas) Sheriff Marty Moss. The innocent animal belonged to her late ex-boyfriend David Wilson. The record producer who is the father to McCreadys youngest son, Zayne died of a gunshot wound in early January. The circumstances of his death are still being investigated. But one of the biggest questions today is why the troubled 37-year-old would have taken her pets life. Mindy really loved her dog and that would not have been an act of malice at all, a pal told Fox News <http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2013/02/19/source-mindy-mccready-dog-s hooting-not-act-malice/> . It would have been more of a case where she just didnt want to leave the dog alone. Dr. John Draper, the Director of the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, agrees that such an act had nothing to do with the pets behavior. One thing is for sure is that she was obviously feeling very close to her pet and that this wasnt an act of hostility with her pet, he tells omg!. It was probably more a statement of her close identification with her pet I think what is often seen in these kinds of murder suicides is not just so much taking them with me as wanting to end the suffering for anybody or anything that you love that might suffer. Given the dogs shared relationship with Wilson, this makes perfect sense. Dr. Draper explains that while theres no data as to how frequently people who commit suicide kill their pets along with them, he often hears that pets are actually a reason many choose to keep living. When people are asked what might be their reasons for living, what might keep them alive, I cant tell you how many times Ive heard them mention their dogs or cats or pets and what life would be like for their pet without them. And, that in some ways, that is what keeps them alive, he says. I think we often understate or neglect the importance of pets in peoples lives. Two other dogs were found at McCreadys home and reportedly were uninjured. If you or a loved one is in emotional distress, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-273-TALK (8255). Help and hope are available 24/7.
