American Idol star CJ Harris dead at 31 after suffering ‘apparent heart attack’.
The singer died at the age of 31 on Sunday in Jasper, Alabama, the Deadline reported. The county’s coroner, Joey Vick, said that Harris arrived at the Walker Baptist Medical Center suffering from health distress. He died shortly after CPR was performed on him.
Harris’ family members told TMZ that he died of a heart attack. Meanwhile, an autopsy has been done, but more tests are needed to identify the cause of the singer’s death, AL reported.
The former singing contestant attended an American Idol audition for the first time in 2010, and he also auditioned for The X-Factor and The Voice.
