‘Extreme Weight Loss’ Star Brandi Mallory’s Cause Of Death Revealed

Brandi Mallory's cause of death has been revealed almost a month after her heartbreaking demise.

According to documents obtained by The Blast, the "Extreme Weight Loss" star's obese weight contributed largely to her death. Mallory was found unconscious in the parking lot of an Atlanta strip mall on November 9.

According to Mallory's official autopsy report, the late reality star died from "Complications of Obesity." The Medical examiner of Fulton County classified her manner of death as "natural."

Per the report, Mallory weighed 385 pounds and was 71" at the time of her death with a body mass index of 53.7 kg/m2. She also had "Cardiomegaly," which refers to an enlarged heart, with biventricular dilatation. Her heart weighed 500 grams.

The late star also suffered Elevated hemoglobin A1c levels that suggested she had prediabetes. Toxicology reports revealed that Mallory had marijuana and alcohol of 0.056 % in her system at the time, but the substances played no role in her death.

As previously reported, the "Extreme Weight Loss" star's death happened under very mysterious circumstances but her autopsy has shed some light on what went wrong that fateful day.

As we covered, the 40-year-old was found dead in her vehicle after she purchased what would turn out to be her last meal. According to the police report obtained, Mallory's final moments happened around dinner time when she drove to an Atlanta strip mall to get food.

After parking her car, she stopped to purchase a meal from a local Chipotle. Surveillance footage in the area showed her arriving at the parking lot at 5:53 PM and buying the food from the restaurant. She returned to her vehicle by 6:01 pm but never got back out.

Per the report, a local Mcallister’s Deli owner met the vehicle in the parking lot around 6 AM on November 9 "with a female in the driver seat appearing to be asleep." He initially did not suspect anything was amiss until hours later when he noticed the woman in the car "did not look alert, conscious or breathing."

The alarmed eyewitness then proceeded to call 911, and the responding authorities pronounced Mallory dead on sight at 8:55 AM when they arrived on the scene. The initial report stressed that there was no evidence of foul play at the moment, which the medical examiner confirmed.

Mallory rose to fame after joining "Extreme Weight Loss" in 2014 as a contestant at 329 pounds. The late social media influencer excelled during the reality show, shedding a whopping 151 pounds and leaving the program with an incredible feat of 178 pounds.

Mallory initially signed up to join "The Biggest Loser" show but the creator believed she was better suited for "Extreme Weight Loss." In a 2018 interview, the 40-year-old opened up about what inspired her to take action about her body, saying the death of her sorority sister at the age of 29 touched her deeply.

"I was literally waking up every day like… this may be my last day waking up, like, I don't know what's going to happen for me," she said at the time. "When it's playing on your mind that I might need to do something about my weight because I'm afraid I might die too, then you might need to pay attention to something like that."

Even after leaving the show, Mallory was serious about her weight loss often documenting her journey on social media. Just two months before her demise, she uploaded an intense workout routine to the delight of her fans.

RIP Brandi Mallory.
