American Idol Contestant and Grammy Award Winner Mandisa Passes Away at Age 47

REMEMBERING MANDISA

Grammy-winning singer Mandisa, who rose to fame as an alum of “American Idol,” has tragically passed away, according to TMZ.

According to TMZ, the unexpected and shocking death of the young woman has been confirmed by her father. It is reported that she did not have any known health issues before her passing, and the cause of her death is currently unknown.

Mandisa, a contestant from season 5 of ‘Idol’ where she finished in 9th place, was discovered deceased in her Nashville residence on Thursday.

In 2017, she shared her experiences with mental health challenges, revealing to ABC News that she had once contemplated suicide. However, it remains unclear if her previous struggle with depression is connected to her passing.
