Michael Johns : Former American Idol contestant Dies at 35

Singer Michael Johns died at the age of 35 on Friday, Aug. 1. The “American Idol” alum reportedly died in his sleep after suffering from an ankle injury earlier. A source told TMZ that the injury led to a blood clot.

“It is with a heavy heart and inconsolable sadness that we confirm the passing of our friend Michael Johns,” the administrator of his website tweeted on Saturday.

Johns impressed the notoriously tough English judge Simon Cowell when he appeared as a contestant on the top-rating show in 2008.

Johns made it to the finals, finishing eighth, despite controversy.
