TMZ further reports that Freeman was at home in West Covina with her husband, Dion, when she began complaining that she couldn’t breathe. Dion called 911 and performed CPR on her until paramedics arrived, but she was pronounced dead around 5:30 PM in the hospital.

Freeman’s manager told TMZ that the singer had been battling bronchitis and lupus, and that the blood clot was actually in her lungs. Source say that a blood clot traveled to her heart.

Freeman had suffered a series of health blows in her short life – from lupus to cervical cancer, and even meningitis. At the time of her demise, she was a happy survivor that continued to inspire people with her voice.
