Here’s what The Daily Caller reported:

An autopsy confirmed “American Idol” star, Mandisa, died from “complications of class III obesity.”

The Grammy award-winning singer rose to fame in 2006, on season 5 of “American Idol,” after finishing in 9th place on the competitive reality competition show. The autopsy noted that Mandisa was pronounced dead on April 18, after her friends discovered her body at her Nashville home, in a state of decomposition, according to TMZ. Emergency medical services arrived on scene and pronounced the star deceased at the age of 47. Mandisa reportedly weighed 488 pounds at the time of her death.

The autopsy report indicated that in spite of the fact that Mandisa’s body was located while in a state of decomposition, they were able to conduct a thorough autopsy to determine her cause of death. The report noted there were no signs of obvious trauma to the star’s neck, according to TMZ.

Toxicology tests were also run and the results showed nothing abnormal. The manner of death was therefore ruled as “natural,” according to TMZ.
