According to an autopsy report from the Fulton County Medical Examiner and obtained by TMZ on Tuesday, Brandi died from complications due to obesity — citing her weight, enlarged heart, and prediabetes issues as factors contributing to her overall health. The document also listed the manner of the reality star’s death as natural.
There were no signs of any recent injury, nor was there no reason to suspect foul play was involved. While there had been traces of marijuana and alcohol in her system, the coroner noted that neither contributed to her death. As the document stated:
“It is my opinion that Brandi E. Mallory died of complications of obesity was considered a significant condition contributing to the death.”
So, so sad. Our hearts continue to go out to Brandi’s family while they mourn this loss.
