Seven weeks after the former American Idol contestant was discovered dead in her home, Mandisa’s cause of death has been made public.

People was able to secure an autopsy report that stated the Christian singer passed away naturally.

The singer, 47, ‘was last known alive approximately three weeks’ earlier, according to the article, and was discovered dead in her home by acquaintances on April 18.
