\n\tAccording to the autopsy report, when she was found in her Tennessee home by friends, she \u201cwas last known alive approximately three weeks\u201d earlier. The report lists her manner of death as natural.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn April, a representative for Mandisa confirmed her death to Billboard<\/em>, adding: \u201cWe ask for your prayers for her family and close-knit circle of friends during this incredibly difficult time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter competing on season 5 of American Idol<\/em> in 2006 and finishing in ninth place, Mandisa released her first album, True Beauty<\/em>, the next year, with the project debuting atop Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Top Christian Albums<\/a> chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 2011, Mandisa earned her first No. 1 on Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Christian Airplay chart with \u201cStronger\u201d and earned a top 20 hit on the chart with \u201cGood Morning\u201d featuring TobyMac. But her biggest success came with 2013\u2019s Overcomer<\/em>, which earned her the Grammy for best contemporary Christian music album and whose title track spent 10 weeks atop Billboard<\/em>\u2018s Hot Christian Songs<\/a> chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tMandisa\u2019s Idol<\/em> peers paid tribute<\/a> to the late singer last month during the show\u2019s 22nd season, with Melinda Doolittle (season 6), Danny Gokey (season 8) and Colton Dixon (season 11) all returning to the show to perform the song \u201cShackles (Praise You)\u201d in her honor.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cNot only did our industry lose a really big voice and a powerhouse of a person, but Christian music lost its No. 1 cheerleader,\u201d Dixon said in an interview with Billboard<\/em> ahead of the tribute\u2019s airing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
