'American Idol' alum Mandisa's father, John Hundley, confirmed her cause of death to Fox News Digital.
'American Idol' alum Mandisa's cause of death has been revealed. Speaking to Fox News Digital on Wednesday, the Grammy Award winner's father, John Hundley, confirmed his daughter died of natural causes. 'The report confirmed the comments I made at her home-going celebration, ‘Mandisa did not harm herself,'' Hundley said. 'It was a natural death associated with obesity.
When that happened at 16, it was like a floodgate opened. I started to eat and eat and eat. I think I was sort of shielding myself off from anybody else that could harm me,' she said during an interview with CBN in 2007. That same year, Mandisa released her first album, 'True Beauty,' which debuted at No. 1 on the Top Christian Albums charts and No. 43 on the Billboard charts, a rare feat for a Christian artist.
