American Idol alum and Christian singer Mandisa’s cause of death has been released.

This cause of Mandisa’s passing is listed as a natural cause of death.
Mandisa’s legacy began when she quickly rose to fame on “American Idol” where she placed in the top ten. In 2014, Mandisa won a Grammy for the release of her album, “Overcomer.”
