Her cause of death is unknown. But sShe was found dead in her home in Nashville on April 18.
In a 2017 interview with ABC News, Mandisa opened up about her struggles with depression, saying that she contemplated suicide.
‘Even more than her music, the Platinum-selling singer will forever be known for her huge heart and sincerity,’ Christian radio station K-Love said in a statement announcing her passing.
‘Mandisa loved Jesus, and she used her unusually extensive platform to talk about Him at every turn. Her kindness was epic, her smile electric, her voice massive, but it was no match for the size of her heart,’ the station’s media officer, David Pierce said.
‘Mandisa struggled, and she was vulnerable enough to share that with us, which helped us talk about our own struggles.’
