The TV and music worlds were shocked by Janice’s sudden death , which was reportedly caused by a blood clot. However, more details have since been released regarding the cause behind the singer’s tragic passing. Documents now report that The Voice star died from a pulmonary embolism , according to her death certificate. The 33-year-old mother also suffered from lupus which was a contributing factor and had battled many health issues throughout her life, including another autoimmune disease called Sjogren’s syndrome. She also had meningitis and even beat cervical cancer, according to E! News . Once her husband, Dion, realized his wife had stopped breathing, he reportedly called 911 and had to perform CPR on his wife until paramedics arrived. Janice was pronounced dead at a local hospital around 5:30 p.m. Freeman is survived by Dion, her 12-year-old daughter Hannah, her mother Janice, brothers and sisters, and many extended family members. She had made it all the way to the final 11 on NBC’S The Voice for season 13 and was coached by Miley Cyrus. The pop singer expressed her sorrow following Freeman’s death online and even spoke at her celebration of life earlier this week . She and her father Billy Ray Cyrus performed “Amazing Grace” at the ceremony. “Before we sing this song for Janice, I just want to clear up a rumor. I was never her coach, ever, she was always mine,” Cyrus said holding back tears. “I’ve learned more from her than anyone that I’ve ever gotten the honor to be in the room with, not just vocally, I should’ve gotten more lessons than I did, but she taught me everything that I know about love.” The Malibu singer continued by saying, “And, to be here, and I had planned on singing a song for her, but just losing her is just too much for me.” Miley Cyrus Breaks Down at Janice Freeman Memorial Service “So my dad’s gonna take care of this for me. But, I’ll always be your sister, I’m here for you, and I’m here for your family, and Janice I’ll miss you more than I could ever say.” Freeman and Cyrus were more than just partners on a reality competition show, they actually developed a genuine friendship. According to Janice, Miley Cyrus took care of her family’s security deposit for a temporary two-bedroom apartment to live in early last year, along with the first six months of rent. Freeman was quick to acknowledge her sincere gestures on Instagram saying, “Miley, you are my dawg, like, my best friend, and I will defend you to the bitter end.” She even spoke through tears in an Instagram video saying, “This woman blessed me to be able to move in. Do you understand? What she don’t know is, I’ve been praying for her.” The day after Miley heard about her dear friend’s passing, she shared a photo to Instagram of a beautiful rainbow. Captioning it, “You are now a rainbow. Something beautiful that comes after something so gloomy.” Rest easy, Janice. Your voice and energy were an inspiration to us all.
