The headlines of late often have tried to bait people with Mandisa's history of depression with the words OD and cause of death lately. The official results are that there was nothing suspicious; and it certainly could simply have been heart failure due in part prematurely with her weight issues.
My won lack of knowledge of her song overcomer on the Good Morning America was that I thought it was written for Robin Roberts who hosted the show and who herself fought cancer. Since she has a same sex lifestyle (and apparently is also into meditation) I was concerned as to the song Overcomer representing some victory that was unrealistic for someone living that way. It turns out it was written for another friend of Mandisa who apparently died a year or two later and that is what led to Mandisa's long bout with depression and her rapid weight gain.
I am not very knowledgeable as to the Christian organization she belonged to; but judging from the last couple videos she did it seemed she had a true concept of proper doctrine and therefore was living a life of a genuine Christian. She was single and didn't get the partner she felt God would give her; nonetheless content with the Lord in all things no matter what. This is a refreshing change from many who compromise in relationships and worldliness. She had amassed a small fortune; but didn't live a lavish lifestyle in an apartment as far as I could see.
I am not saying it is impossible that the family knows something about her death which at this point will likely never be revealed. It just seems sad to me that if someone does live a Godly life and suffers for it; it is just the musical fame and worldly success which is mentioned; even by those of "Christian" circles.
Also; in general we need to take care not to believe all we hear; even some historical things especially when bias is proven.
Today in particular impartial and even adequate fact sources are rare

I didn't even know about her death until I read your comment earlier. Can relate to, and really appreciate this part especially!
