Country music singer Mindy McCready, whose long-term affair with pitcher Roger Clemens ensnared her in his legal battles, was hospitalized in an apparent suicide attempt Wednesday morning, according to a police spokeswoman.
McCready was taken to a Nashville-area hospital for treatment of wounds to her wrists, according to the spokeswoman and two people close to the troubled singer.
Police and paramedics were called to a Nashville home where McCready was staying and immediately transported her to a hospital.
“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. “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 33-year-old McCready has been weathering enormous pressure all year, and was treated this summer at a Hunt, Texas rehab center for what she described as a nervous breakdown.
