'The Voice' alum Ryan Whyte Maloney dies at 44

Ryan Whyte Maloney, a contestant from Season 6 of "The Voice" who turned all four judges' chairs, has died at 44.

Maloney was pronounced dead at 2:50 a.m. Tuesday, a spokesperson for the Clark County Office of the Coroner/Medical Examiner told USA TODAY. His death was determined to be a suicide.

USA TODAY has reached out to a representative for Maloney, as well as the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department, for more information.

People was first to report the news.

Maloney, who was among the singers who performed at the Ole Red Las Vegas opening last year, was scheduled to perform upcoming shows at the Blake Shelton-owned venue. His next performance, part of what he described on his website as an "ongoing residency," was slated for Friday night.

On his website, Maloney described his music style as "mixing Alt/Country/Classic/Rock/R&B and hip hop" and wrote that he'd started playing instruments at 9 years old. He recorded his first album, "Tomorrow's Another Day," in 2005, followed by a 12-song album called "Where I've Been." In the years before he appeared on "The Voice," he "performed in every small club and honky-tonk bar in addition to performing for national festivals for over 250,000 people" as he promoted his album.

When he performed Journey's "Lights" during his audition on "The Voice," he received a four-chair turn from Shakira, Usher, Shelton and Adam Levine. After making it through the Battle Rounds, he was taken out of the competition as one of Shelton's finalists.

Per his website, Maloney said he "looks bright into the future and moves to continued success as a stapled figure in the Las Vegas music scene, performing at corporate events and in showrooms."

"Ryan dreams big and pushes on towards the lights of the stage with a charismatic motto, 'Only Those Who See The Invisible, Accomplish The Impossible,'" his bio reads.
