Mandisa’s cause of death has been revealed seven weeks after the American Idol alum was found dead in her home.

According to an autopsy report obtained by People, the Christian singer died of natural causes.

The Grammy winner’s death was attributed to complications of class III obesity.

Shortly after her death, Idol honored Mandisa with a special performance of “Shackles (Praise You)” performed by Idol alums Colton Dixon, Melinda Doolittle, and Danny Gokey.

Mandisa was an adored icon on ‘American Idol’ and in the music industry,” the show said in a statement at the time.

“She had become a platinum-selling artist and had won several Grammys for her music. Her passing has left everyone on the show heartbroken, and we extend our deepest condolences to her family.”

My thoughts and prayers are with each and everyone whose lives were touched by Mandisa.
