Mandisa, a Christian singer who used to be on American Idol, was found dead in her home at the age of 47.
A report from the autopsy now says for sure that Mandisa died because of problems related to her class III obesity.
The Cleveland Clinic says that a person has the disease if their body mass index (BMI) is 40 or more, or if their BMI is 35 or more and they have health problems related to being overweight.
The autopsy also said that Mandisa had been found after being “last known alive” for about three weeks.
Mandisa competed on Season 5 of American Idol and made it to the top 9.
She later put out Christian music that won a Grammy Award.
A radio station in North Texas called 94.9 KLTY paid tribute to the late Mandisa on X, which used to be called Twitter. She died at the age of 47.
The radio station wrote, “Our hearts broke when we learned of Mandisa’s death [broken heart].”
“Her lyrics are important to us.” You should know that the bad times will end and that things will get better. Trust me, this will make you stronger.
“Join KLTY all weekend as we celebrate her life through her music.”
