Days later, 'American Idol' alum Mandisa's death still a mystery, investigation continues

Days after Franklin Police confirmed they were working on a death investigation and a rep for Christian singer Mandisa confirmed her death, no new information has been released regarding a possible cause.

Mandisa, born in Citrus Heights, California, as Mandisa Lynn Hundley, was 47.

The singer was found dead in her Franklin home Thursday. Police did not directly confirm Hundley as the subject of their death investigation, but confirmed they were working at a home that matched the address provided for the 'American Idol' alum on public records.

The Media Collective, which repped Hundley, confirmed her death Friday, though provided no insight into a cause of death.

A spokesperson for the Franklin Police Department said Monday morning the case is "still an active death investigation, and we will comment further as we have more information."

Hundley attended Fisk University, where she was a member of the famed Fisk University Jubilee singers. She graduated in 2000.

In 2005, Hundley appeared on "American Idol" and made it to the top nine. Her career as a Christian artist bloomed from there. She released her first album, "True Beauty" in 2007 and debuted on the Top Christian Album charts with her first single, "Only the World."

Hundley won best contemporary Christian Music Album for "Overcomer" at the 56th Grammy Awards in 2014.

As news of her death spread, other celebrities and people who knew Mandisa have spoken out on social media, saying her music and lyrics served as inspiration to them when they needed it.

Tennessean reporters Craig Shoup and Melonee Hurt contributed to this report.
