During Mandisa’s celebration of life service her father, John Hundley, claimed that he does not believe she harmed herself. He mentioned her body being potentially weak from COVID.
“She did not harm herself,” Hundley said. “There is one thing you may not have known. She told me some time ago that she had gotten COVID-19 and she had been weak trying to get over that, but she was trying to press through.”
Hundley says he has spent time with investigators as they try to figure out the cause of Mandisa’s death. He gave his own belief of what he thinks happened at the time of Mandisa’s death.
“Here’s what I think happened,” Hundley said. “Mandisa fell down in her bedroom. They found her on the floor. If you look from the rear of her bed, she was laying on the left side. It’s clear that’s where she was laying…I found her phone on the right side of the bed. There was no way for Mandisa to get around the bed and go up there and get her phone to call for help.”
