Mandisa\u2019s cause of death has been revealed as complications of \u2018class III obesity\u2019<\/p>\n
\nThe \u2018American Idol\u2019 contestant \u2013 who was a star of the fifth series of the show before going on to win a Grammy \u2013 passed away on 18 April at her home in Nashville, and an autopsy report has now revealed how she died.<\/p>\n
\nIt said the singer was found dead in her home by friends, and that she \u201cwas last known alive approximately three weeks\u201d earlier.<\/p>\n
\nClass III obesity is defined a disease in which a sufferer has a \u201cbody mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher or a BMI of 35 or higher and is experiencing obesity-related health conditions\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nA representative for Mandisa announced her death in a statement on April 19 that said: \u201cWe can confirm that yesterday Mandisa was found in her home deceased.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cAt this time we do not know the cause of death or any further details. We ask for your prayers for her family and close knit circle of friends during this incredibly difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nChristian rock radio station K-Love also confirmed her death, with the broadcaster\u2019s chief media officer David Pierce saying in a statement her struggles were finally \u201cover\u201d.<\/p>\n
\nHe added: \u201cMandisa struggled, and she was vulnerable enough to share that with us, which helped us talk about our own struggles.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cMandisa\u2019s struggles are over. She is with the God she sang about now. While we are saddened, Mandisa is home. We\u2019re praying for Mandisa\u2019s family and friends and ask you to join us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBorn and raised in California, Mandisa Lynn Hundley gained fame when she hit back at a then-notoriously critical \u2018American Idol\u2019 judge Simon Cowell, 64, by heaping kindness on him when she appeared on the show in 2006.<\/p>\n
\nShe made it to the season\u2019s Top 10 and went on to release her debut album \u2018True Beauty\u2019 in 2007 \u2013 becoming a Christian radio staple after the release of her tunes \u2018Stronger\u2019, \u2018Good Morning\u2019 and \u2018My Deliverer\u2019.<\/p>\n
\nShe said in her 2022 \u2018Out of the Dark\u2019 autobiography traumas she endured as a teenager included being raped and mental health battles.<\/p>\n
\nMandisa at one point considered suicide but was saved from the brink by friends who staged an intervention and forced her to go to therapy in addition to relying on prayer.<\/p>\n
\nShe said: \u201cI went to counselling as a result of their intervention. And who knew that talking about these things, it\u2019s actually good and healthy for you? It\u2019s not a sign of weakness. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cIn the same way that if you have a physical ailment, you would go and see a doctor, I\u2019ve come to appreciate counsellors.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cThese are professionals to help you deal with some things that are easy to sweep under the rug.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cSo, through my counselling journey, which has continued, it\u2019s helping me to talk about difficult issues\u2026 that I\u2019m forcing myself to face.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
