Grammy-winning singer Mandisa passed away due to complications of obesity. Autopsy reveals her therapy journey was crucial in her struggles.

The world was shocked by the news of Mandisa's passing, with the late singer's cause of death being revealed as complications of "class III obesity." Mandisa, a former "American Idol" contestant who went on to win a Grammy, passed away at her home in Nashville, Tennessee on April 18. An autopsy report disclosed that she had been found dead by friends, with her last known alive approximately three weeks earlier.

Class III obesity is a serious disease characterized by a body mass index (BMI) of 40 or higher, or a BMI of 35 or higher with obesity-related health conditions. Mandisa's representatives confirmed her death and asked for prayers for her family and friends during this difficult time. Christian rock radio station K-Love also confirmed her passing, stating that her struggles were finally over and she was now with the God she sang about.

Mandisa, who gained fame on "American Idol" in 2006, released her debut album True Beauty in 2007 and became a Christian radio staple with hits like "Stronger," "Good Morning," and "My Deliverer." In her autobiography, Out of the Dark, she revealed the traumas she endured as a teenager, including rape and mental health battles. Mandisa considered suicide at one point but was saved by friends who staged an intervention and encouraged her to seek therapy in addition to prayer.

Through her counseling journey, Mandisa learned the value of talking about difficult issues and facing them head-on. She emphasized the importance of seeking professional help for mental health struggles, likening it to seeing a doctor for physical ailments. Mandisa's openness about her struggles inspired many, and her legacy as a talented singer and courageous advocate for mental health will continue to live on.
