Freeman reportedly died on Saturday from an apparent blood clot. It appears the blood clot we referenced above, traveled to her heart. She had battled through a series of health issues throughout her life including, lupus, cervical cancer and meningitis.
Janice’s family told TMZ that she was at home in West Covina with her husband, Dion, when she started complaining she couldn’t breathe. Dion called 911 and had to perform CPR on her until paramedics arrived. She was pronounced dead around 5:30 PM at a hospital.
Freeman was on Miley Cyrus‘ team during “The Voice” season 13 in 2017 and made it to the top 11.
She and Miley stayed in touch after the show. Back in 2018, Janice posted a very emotional thank you to Miley for helping her out financially when she and her family were searching for a place to live.
