Mindy McCready Latest "Celebrity Rehab" Death

Mindy McCready, Dr. Drew
Mindy McCready's death Sunday, of an apparent suicide, makes her the fifth participant from "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew" to die in the past two years.

CBS News reports McCready appeared on the third season of Dr. Drew Pinsky's VH1 series, which followed stars as they were treated for drug and alcohol addiction. She suffered a seizure on camera in one of the show's scarier moments.

The 37-year-old McCready is the third cast member from that season's cast of nine people to die -- Alice in Chains bassist Mike Starr died in 2011 and former "Real World" star Joey Kovar died last August, both of overdoses.

 Jeff Conaway and Rodney King, who appeared on other "Celebrity Rehab" seasons, have also died.

In an interview with CBSNews.com in 2010, McCready denied that the show exploits people's problems for entertainment.

The last season of "Celebrity Rehab" aired in 2011. A sixth season of the show, titled "Rehab with Dr. Drew" and featuring a cast of non-celebrities, aired last year.
