The cause of death for the former reality TV star, who used her platform to promote body positivity and fitness, has not been disclosed.

Brandi Mallory, a former contestant on ABC's 'Extreme Weight Loss', has died at the age of 40.
Mallory's death was confirmed by the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office, but a cause of death has not been disclosed.
She appeared on the fourth season of 'Extreme Weight Loss' in 2014, where she went from 329 pounds to 178 pounds.
