The Cleburne County Sheriff's Office confirmed in a news release that McCready died of a single self-inflicted gunshot wound.

McCready, 37, is best known for her No.1 country hit in 1996, when she was just 21, with "Guys Do It All the Time." Her other popular songs included "Ten Thousand Angels" and "A Girl's Gotta Do (What A Girl's Gotta Do)."
