Mindy McCready is in the hospital in Cape Coral, Florida for what her mother told paramedics was a drug overdose. McCready’s mother Gayle McCready dialed 911 at 10:38 a.m. ET today, from her North Fort Myers home, to summon an ambulance for her daughter. The singer was taken to Cape Coral Hospital. Listen to the 911 call here.
This is where the story gets interesting. McCready’s rep, Bret Young, indicates that his client broke her toe several days ago and asked her mother for something to relieve the pain. Gayle McCready reportedly gave her recovering addict daughter some heavy duty narcotics – four Darvocet pills.
Young went on to say that Mindy started feeling ill, and her mother “overreacted” and called 911. He reportedly just talked to Mindy and said, “She’s totally coherent. She can’t believe her mom did this.”
McCready asked her rep to call Dr. Drew next, to assure him that she has not fallen off the recovery wagon. She appeared on “Celebrity Rehab” in August 2009.
The country performer is listed in good condition and has been admitted to the hospital; where she will remain at least overnight, while her condition is evaluated further.
The singer has had a checkered past. In recent years she acknowledged a 10 year affair with former MLB player Roger Clemens. She has done jail time and has been in rehab on several occasions. Her mother currently cares for her daughter’s 4-year-old son Zander.
