As friends, family and fans celebrated the life of Mandisa Hundley over the weekend, the cause of the Grammy-winning singer's death remains a mystery that could take months to solve. Hundley was found dead in her Williamson County home on April 18. She was 47. The Tennessean has filed a public records request with the medical examiner's office, seeking documents related to Hundley's autopsy. In response, the Tennessee Department of Health said a complete autopsy report would be released in the next 60-90 days. The Davidson County Medical Examiner's office said Monday they do not release preliminary reports. Max Winitz, a spokesperson for Franklin Police Department, told The Tennessean Monday the investigation into Hundley's death remains open. Moving tribute:See how 'American Idol' honored Mandisa after her death Friday, Fisk University alumni came together with Hundley's family and the public to honor the former Jubilee Singer. A celebration of life was held in Brentwood Saturday. Hundley graduated from Fisk in 2000 and tried out for "American Idol" in 2005.
