Deli Owner Who Spotted ‘Extreme Weight Loss’ Star Brandi Mallory Unresponsive In Car Assumed She Was Sleeping Before Calling Police Hours Later, Report Says

“Extreme Weight Loss” star Brandi Mallory died after going on a quick run to purchase dinner earlier this month. 

Documents from the Atlanta Police Department obtained by TMZ confirmed she was last spotted grabbing a meal from Chipotle. Security footage reviewed by investigators showed her going to the fast food restaurant to pick up her meal and return to her car.

A man who owns a deli in the strip mall noticed her inside of her vehicle in the parking lot the next day on Nov. 9, and initially thought she was sleeping, according to the report. However, after noticing that the car was still there hours later and she was unresponsive, he called police. 

“It appears to be a dead body in a car parked in the parking lot,” the man told the 911 operator in audio posted by TMZ. “There’s a girl laying in her car, she doesn’t look right. I’ve knocked on the hood, no movement – doesn’t look like she’s breathing.”

According to officials, the 40-year-old’s cause of death has yet to be revealed and is under investigation, but said there’s no foul play involved. 

The beloved reality television contestant was on Season 4 of ABC’s “Extreme Weight Loss,” losing more than 100 pounds on the show. Mallory continued to motivate her supporters after the show and was active on social media. She also shared her work as a makeup artist and dance instructor. 

Following her death, people opened up about their bond with Mallory and how she impacted their lives. 

“You truly made an impact on this world with your zest and your passion for body positivity,” Kim Williams Maxile, a fellow “Extreme Weight Loss” alum, said in an Instagram post. “I’m blessed to have gotten to experience you in this world. Love you so much, sis.” 

Mallory’s funeral was held at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Tucker, Georgia, on Monday. 

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
