The death of American Idol star Mandisa shocked fans and her peers alike when it was announced in April.
Now, the cause of her tragic passing has been revealed.
Full story below…
Citing an obtained copy of the coroner’s report, TMZ confirmed that the 47-year-old died from “complications of class III obesity.”
She reportedly weighed 488 pounds at the time of her death.
Sadly, the vocalist’s friends found her in a state of decomposition on April 18.
However, further reports – including toxicology assessments – confirm that no other variables were involved nor were any abnormalities tallied.

Screaming! She was almost 500 pounds!!!! 💀
Just a couple of years ago, she shared that she worked hard to get healthy and achieved it. Sounds like she was going through a tough time recently and that could’ve misled her to ill-health. God bless her for being Idol’s first plus-sized contestant who paved the way for Jordan Sparks to win that following year. May she rest in peace.
