BREAKING NEWS: 'The Voice' contestant has been found dead

She was a huge fan favourite. - by Bianca Mastroianni
  • 04 Mar 2019

The Voice US contestant Janice Freeman has tragically passed away from an apparent blood clot that traveled to her heart, at age 33 on Sunday, March 3.

TMZ reports that the singer was in her Pasadena home in California with her husband Dion, when she started to complain that she couldn't breathe.

The outlet explains how Dion called 911 and performed CPR on his wife until paramedics arrived on the scene. Freeman was pronounced dead at the local hospital at around 5:30pm.

Since the news broke, The Voice judge Miley Cyrus took to her Instagram story to show her condolences.

 

"Thank you @janicefreeman.. for everything," wrote Cyrus on a photo of a rainbow. "This represents you perfectly."

Freeman — who competed on Cyrus' team during season 13 of the reality singing show, has previously battled lupus, cervical cancer and meningitis.

In January 2018, the star opened up about how Cyrus changed her life, revealing that she helped her and her family outside of the show.

"Thank you ALL but she found us placement until we found permanent housing, gave me the deposit, covered me for 6 months so I can get on my feet!" Freeman tweeted at the time. "@MileyCyrus you are one of my closest friends and what you did for me and my family I'm prayed GOD gives you the desire of your heart."

I want to give ALL praises to THE FATHER for this healing process! It has been a difficult, trying, discouraging, mentally draining, etc last 3 months I have had to deal with in a very long time! But God is FAITHFUL and HE is healing my body and I'm starting to see a little clearly again!... I'm so grateful and overwhelmed becuase HE loves me so in spite of me deserving it or not.... I want to leave this message with you all... God loves you so much and He'll never walk away from you (you can walk away from Him). Thank you all so much for your continued prayers they have been keeping me! Remember you're awesome, amazing, there's only one you in this world..... ( You finish it!!!! ) I love you all

Our thoughts and prayers are with Freedman's family.
