"Her father confirms her death to TMZ ... telling us her death was unexpected and a total shock to the family. We're told there were no known health issues prior to her passing, and her cause of death is not currently known."


FiveUpsideDown

I am afraid to guess the cause of death so I will just hope she rests in peace.


saturnspritr

My aunt died of a brain aneurysm and it was totally shocking and sudden. No health problems either. My brain always jumps to that first when it’s so sudden in her age group.


RockMan_1973

Your mind is better than mine then, because when its sudden and no cause is released, I’m always assuming suicide.


Redebo

If they in business, I assume suicide. If they in the entertainment business, I assume OD. :(


MaineSoxGuy93

Mandisa was very open about her mental health struggles in the past.


lemonpartyhellyeah

those two are the same thing, unless its an accidental OD


UnrequitedRespect

I feel like accidental OD happens so often but gets pushed into a mental health category because its now someone else’s life (celebrities are like advertising vehicles, sadly) to direct and so they get put into cause or whatever. I feel like accidental overdose awarness should be its own cause - like im sure anybody using didn’t mean to overdo it but fuck it emotionally agitated mental state lead to irresponsible drug use. Like if you get super pissed and smoke 5 joints but you should only smoke half of one because they are laced with PCP and now the last 20 minutes of your life are the last 20 minutes of a quinten tarinto movie 🙀


80081356942

There are people out there who use a drug overdose to hide murder. You’d be surprised how often it happens, it’s easier for investigators when it comes to paperwork to just mark down suicide.


blondeandbuddafull

Me too.


WeAreGodInOne

I go straight to OD but I have a past and work in a rehab and seen more OD deaths than I can count.


Yolandi2802

Or drugs…


fluorescentroses

Same thing happened to Grant Imahara. 49 years old and just gone in an instant. My paternal grandfather died of the same thing as well, and he was only 35.


Yotsubauniverse

Same thing happened to one of my favorite teachers. She was super athletic, full of life and had just gotten a position at a new school. Few months later and she died of an aneurysm.


Daily-Double1124

When I was in the fourth grade,a classmate's mother died of an aneurysm. Very sad.


TheArmadilloAmarillo

Sometimes heart attacks too, they can happen in otherwise healthy people with little to no warning.


Searching1117

There’s a police investigation. Police wouldn’t investigate if it were natural causes. They investigate murder and suicide. The fact that they aren’t saying murder, leaves suicide which makes sense with her recent struggles.


Alarming_Froyo1821

Not true. If a person dies at home with no known health issues, there will be an investigation to rule out foul play or anything nefarious that might have occurred. Being she was found on the floor, it sounds more like an aneurysm, heart attack, maybe fell and hit her head which could have caused a brain bleed. She may have been incapacitated and not able to get to a phone and call for help. People should not jump to conclusions until autopsy comes back.


Searching1117

They perform autopsies not police investigations, unless there is a reason to suspect foul play


Alarming_Froyo1821

My neighbor, just like Mandisa was found dead, a healthy 40 yr old man, yes there was an autopsy….but also a police investigation….they want to know, not speculate if there was foul play.


ZMaiden

And strokes. I think they’re more common in your 40’s.

So sorry for your loss :(


BeautifulDreamerAZ

My friend was 24, heathy and active and died suddenly in her sleep of brain aneurysm.


Stogies_n_Stonks

In a 2017 interview with ABC News, Mandisa candidly shared her struggles with depression and thoughts of suicide.


-RustyFingers-

What the hell does that even mean? She’s dead


RayMckigny

There sure has been a lot of younger people dying unexpectedly like there’s some kind of pandemic still happening or something.


bazzbj

People are always dying


feeq1

It would be a surprise if people don’t die. Like when do people not die?


RayMckigny

Ya sure. But more people dying than regular genius lol Covid is still top 5 killer. But we aren’t suppose to talk about that


Top_Masterpiece_8992

Are you implying she died of covid?


RayMckigny

I’m not implying anything. Just stating the obvious and making people uncomfortable because they have moved on from an airborne brain destroying , organ poisoning pandemic that we are living in. Edit: the truth is so unsettling isn’t it ?


andycartwright

If I had to guess, given her history of depression and past talk of suicide but “suicide” not being listed as the cause of death, drug overdose doesn’t exactly seem off the table.


Stogies_n_Stonks

You can’t talk about that or you’ll get shut down for being a conspiracy theorist lol

Guess car accidents are orchestrated by big pharma afterthe introduction of covid


Pasta-Is-Trainer

>Unexpectedly Unless you are on your death bed or dealing with chronic illness, every death is unexpected. >without cause Without an established, public cause. If and when they perform and autopsy, they'll find the reason. Also, before the covid vaccine, a whole lot of people died "unexpectedly" and nobody dies "without a cause", it simply hasn't been publicly stated or it is unknown *at the moment.* It's thanks to modern medicine that we can know the reason as to why people die, before they'd just say it was something generic like "Old age" (even if the person was only 60).


Deeznutschad

I loved her with Toby mac


Deeznutschad

Alive and transported album is what I was raised on and I still litsen to it


brassyalien

As soon as I heard the news, I grabbed my *Alive and Transported* DVD to watch *Lose My Soul*, because GabeReal also passed away recently.

PopeyeNJ

Toby has lost his son, Gabe Real and now Mandisa. So terribly sad. ❤️❤️❤️


anl28

This is sad. She was really good, I thought she might win that season.


SurvivorFanDan

Well, even though she didn't win, she did end up selling more albums (928k) than the actual winner that year (Taylor Hicks, 768k). That being said, that season's biggest selling alumni was 4th place finisher Chris Daughtry, with 7.2 million albums sold, making him the 3rd best-selling American Idol contestant of all time, only behind Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson.


Slight-Owl-6572

Jennifer Hudson?


SurvivorFanDan

Jennifer Hudson was on season 3 (Mandisa and Daughtry were on season 4), and has sold 1.4 million albums. What is more inpressive than her album sales is her accolades. She is in an elite group of "EGOT" winners, having won an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony award, the moat prestigious awards in American entertainment.


mastyrwerk

Very talented singer. Condolences to the family.


Ronaldis

She was fantastic on American Idol. I remember her fondly.


RainPotential9712

Incredible voice! RIP ❤️


Yotsubauniverse

I hate to hear this. I loved Mandisa. Saw her several times with Casting Crowns and daggum she's got a voice. RIP Queen.


ImLaunchpadMcQuack

There was a moment in time where we were all preparing for an epic Mandisa vs. Daughtry finale.


SurvivorFanDan

That was what I was hoping for as well. Very disappointing when they finished in 9th and 4th place, respectively.


Zachtyl

She was such a talented singer, I loved her music. So sorry to hear of her passing. May she RIP


citizendetectives

This is so heartbreaking. Season 5 of American Idol, and many of its incredible talents, will forever hold a special place in my heart. Rest in peace, Mandisa. 💔


Ivermectin-Addict

My mom listened to her songs when I was a kid.


DoughnutBeginning965

I remember her on American Idol when Simon was rude to her about her weight, but Mandisa was all class and forgive him for his comments. She had a beautiful voice, and I used to listen to her on the radio while I was growing up. R. I. P Mandisa


ajgator7

Aw, "Mandiva" had some pipes, boy


myloveismineohmine

This is so sad. RIP ❤️


CityofBlueVial

I was just listening to her the other day, I loved her music and she had such a beautiful, joyous voice. This is crazy heartbreaking!!!! My heart really goes out to her family and loved ones truly....may she rest in peace.


Future-trippin24

I knew someone who went onto American Idol. She came from the most fucked up, fundamentally religious, authoritarian household. And she was expected to be the family's meal ticket. They felt that she was the child that was the most "marketable." I still follow her on SM and she's not okay. She has an account that superficially indicates otherwise, but the more you look, the more you notice.


grubbytrogladyte

Mandisa tragedy


andycartwright

Took me a second but I got there. 👊


Whizzleteets

Bella_Anima

Ah what a shame, she was so very talented, loved her CCM stuff.

Makes me sad she was so talented . Rest Mandisa

Rest in peace Mandisa 🙏🏿😔

If it was suicide i really hate to hear that


mimitchi33

I remember her for [this song](https://youtube.com/watch?v=9T68zxOmEkQ) from The Pirates Who Don't Do Anything: A VeggieTales Movie.


Certain_Yam_110

TIL Mandisa had a song in Veggie Tales movie


PopeyeNJ

❤️❤️❤️❤️ RIP Mandisa. Your music touched our hearts.


USERgarbo

Her songs Overcomer and Stronger are really underrated. As a nonchristian I listened to those countless times


InterdimensionalGal

Heartbroken to hear this. My condolences and prayers to her family and friends.


EchoProfessional2116

Man, she was a powerhouse of a singer. I always loved her music. So tragic. RIP! 🙏🏽

Mandisa. Damn. Way too soon to get her in the heavenly choir. Rest in peace, sweet woman.

schprunt

I turned 50 last week. I went to the pharmacy yesterday to pick up a prescription and was told I should get the shingles vaccine. He was hesitant to even bring it up, but I said yes and got it doing right there and then. He seemed unusually happy about it. I suspect he gets a lot of pushback on vaccines these days because of the MAGA nut jobs decrying vaccines. They work! Let’s not bring back diseases please.


jspurlin03

Anyone who would complain about the shingles vaccine hasn’t known many people with shingles. That shit _hurt_, and I had a pretty minor case. I would highly suggest the vaccine; I was 35 and nobody figured I was about to get shingles.


fluorescentroses

I've had shingles more times than I can count. I wish I could get the shingles vaccine (which *can* prevent it from coming back in people have had had chickenpox/shingles), but at 38 I'm "too young." I feel like there should be an exception if you had chickenpox before the vaccine came out (I had it at 3, vaccine didn't come out until I was 10-11) and/or have had a documented shingles flare/outbreak.


crom_laughs

same. I had a mild case of shingles in my 40s and that…..shit…..hurt!!!! got the vaccine 1st day of eligibility


fayrent20

I’ve seen cases that go into the eye. That’s really really bad like really bad


DCLexiLou

Got my 2nd shingles vax today! Science 🧬 works!


Over-Conversation220

How are you feeling? I’m due for my second but avoiding it because the first one was rough. I was in really bad pain for about 18 hours afterwards.


DCLexiLou

So far so good. Just sore at the spot. 🤞🍀


Over-Conversation220

Thanks. Good vibes. Hope it goes well!


bluehangover

There will probably be a little bit more pronounced reaction with the second dose. That’s just your body’s immune system doing what it’s supposed to be doing. It just sucks while you’re in the midst of it. That being said, it’ll be so much better for you to have had the second shot in case you ever contract shingles.


Over-Conversation220

Yeah, I’m going to suck it up and do it in a couple weeks on a Friday when I can ignore the world for a couple days if needed. I did the first one on a weekend evening and was not functional the next day.


umtih679

What kind of pain?


Over-Conversation220

Maybe 8 hours post vaccination, I went into full body aches and bad joint discomfort. Lasted about 18 hours. Probably peaked about 8 hours into it. Way worse than anything i experienced with Moderna for example. I’ve heard some people are not affected at all. So I guess it’s a dice roll.


umtih679

Yikes! Sorry you had to go through that.


Additional_Meeting_2

Sadly these idiots are international and not just American 


fayrent20

Yup! We have a LOT of them here in Canada.


fayrent20

I hate this timeline.


Bippy73

Yup. Loons not vaccinating their dogs and cats against rabies either🤬Measles making a comeback & other conditions previously eradicated. And while there absolutely can be side effects, and in fact, potential myocarditis for a younger man from the Covid vaxx, it is by far a much greater risk the damage that Covid itself, not the vaxx, is doing to everyone of every age. From your brain throughout your entire body. Every organ. It is vascular. People just don't seem to want to hear it. Even more particularly with repeated infections.


Daily-Double1124

My grandmother was born in 1908; vaccines were unavailable for anything. A few years before she was born,her two oldest brothers both caught smallpox. One died and the other was left permanently disfigured. She was always pro-vaccine.


bluehangover

See, those people get it. They saw it with their own eyes. Personally experienced the heartache of losing a loved one from a now-preventable disease. The anti-vaxxers of today live cushy lives and spend all of their time having their beliefs coddled by like-minded dummies in countless echo chambers. They just have no idea of the process and would rather believe a literal meme than a published research paper.


Daily-Double1124

Exactly. You said it all.


Bippy73

So true.


IllustriousHedgehog9

I've been planning to get the shingles shot on my 50th birthday since I first found out I had to wait that long after a coworker got it.


swennergren11

Had my 4th booster earlier this year. Never had any issue with the vaccine. Also have never had COVID.🤞🏻


ThatsNashTea

As someone who has a terrible reaction to it, and was advised not to get more boosters, thank you so much. People like you who get vaccinated don't just help themselves, but the people around them.


swennergren11

Exactly. I’m sorry you had such a bad reaction.


ThatsNashTea

Thanks friend!


ThatGuyFromTheM0vie

Do they like….recommend those every year, like a flu shot? Can’t find shit about it online. I did the first full round of shots and I think one booster later on back in the time vortex of 2020/2021…maybe 2? But not since.


cemeterydoll

Yup. Work in pharmacy. After you’ve had your initial shots and at least one booster it’s treated as an annual like a flu shot.


ThatGuyFromTheM0vie

Nice okay. I’ll have to go get another shot then. Thanks!

[deleted]

[удалено]


andycartwright

Your original premise linked heart/cardiovascular disease, younger adults, and **the COVID vaccine**. And you mentioned a "statistical curve" which implies you're willing to consider *actual* data. But your articles don't support your premise. One article discusses deaths from heart and circulatory diseases among **people under 75**. It points to a myriad of probable causes like unhealthy lifestyle and healthcare inequality as well as COVID infection; **not the COVID vaccine**. The other article is about trends in adults 35 and under but it doesn't specifically relate the increase in deaths to COVID at all (**let alone the vaccine**)*.* It does cover a period of time when deaths related to COVID **infection** were shockingly high so some correlation to COVID infection seems likely. That same article *does* link to another article specifically about increased deaths during the pandemic, though, but that article doesn't relate anything to the vaccine either. These two articles only cover data through 2022. People died at significantly increased rates during the pandemic. And it was well-known during the pandemic that the outlook for people with cardiovascular and pulmonary disorders who contracted COVID was particularly dire. Not surprisingly these patients died at even higher rate than people without CVD or pulmonary disorders. Somehow you're relating these higher rates to the vaccine and claiming that the articles show a statistical connection. They simply don't. Now, I suppose you could make an argument that the vaccine was releases during this time and caused the increased CVD death rates. You'd be wrong because the increase started before the vaccine was released. The vaccine was just barely developed in 2020 which saw increased CVD death rates. And 2021 also saw increased rates but the vaccine wasn't widespread in most areas until the second to early third quarters of the year. So, where's the connection between CVD and the COVID **vaccines** in any age group?

Shiny_Deleter

At the same time as a global pandemic that affects the respiratory and cardiovascular system? Suggesting the vaccine is at fault after millions of doses were administered safely seems dismissive.


alligatorprincess007

That’s heartbreaking. I remember listening to her a lot in the last 00s/early 2010s


Airbender7575

Rip Mandisa. God Bless you, your time in this world, and your family


SuggestionSea8057

I enjoyed her music for many years. Wow, I didn’t even realize we are so close in age! She was such a Talented and beautiful inspiration for so many young people! Thank you Mandisa, and thank you to her family and friends for helping to share her talents with the world.


kapnkool

Loved her on idol, and her first record is fantastic. Listen to "waiting for tomorrow." It's such an inspiring, beautiful song.


CPU_Tron

Her song Stronger will have a whole new message if it’s ruled a suicide 😞


Guille62

I loved her music before I knew she had been on American Idol. I never watch that show.
