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. In 2014, he auditioned again for American Idol in Salt Lake City when he was working at a restaurant and had a footing in indie music, according to the Deadline.
Though the cause of Harris' death is to be determined, a few conservatives on Twitter suggested that the death is related to the COVID vaccine. Harris' vaccination status is unclear and it is also unknown whether or not he has been previously infected with the virus.
"All these young people dying of heart problems and we got grown ass adults acting like it isn't the vaccine. The weirdos think the climate is doing this. RIP brother, society failed you. #cjharris" Prince Carlton, author of Black Masculinity: The 40 Lessons, tweeted on Monday.
Fans of the show remember the Jasper native auditioning for the judges back in 2014 in Salt Lake City ... blowing them away with his version of Allman Brothers Band's "Soulshine."
Following his incredible audition, CJ rocked America with powerful versions of "Too Close," "American Woman," and "Free Fallin'." He was chosen by the judges as a wild card in the semi-finals after not receiving enough votes, getting kept in the competition -- making it all the way to the top 6 before getting eliminated
