Ryan Whyte Maloney, a musician who competed on Season 6 of The Voice, died at 44 in Las Vegas in late January 2025. Reports differ on whether his death occurred on January 27 or January 28: USA TODAY reported that a Clark County coroner spokesperson placed his time of death at 2:50 a.m. on January 28. News outlets reported his death on January 28 and 29.
What was reported about his death
The Clark County Coroner’s office was cited by news outlets confirming Maloney’s death. USA TODAY, republished by Yahoo, reported that the coroner’s office determined his death was a suicide. TheWrap, citing People, reported the listed cause as a gunshot wound to the head. These details were reported by the outlets based on information attributed to the coroner’s office.
The date varies across early coverage: some reports described the death as occurring January 27, while USA TODAY’s coroner-sourced account gave January 28 at 2:50 a.m. The differing accounts should not be treated as a single settled date.
Who was Ryan Whyte Maloney on The Voice?
Maloney appeared on the show’s sixth season, which aired in 2014. He auditioned with Journey’s “Lights,” prompting all four coaches to turn their chairs, and chose Blake Shelton’s team. He advanced through the competition to the playoffs, where he was eliminated before the live shows, and returned to perform during the season finale.

His performances included Tina Turner’s “What’s Love Got to Do With It,” Rascal Flatts’ “Easy,” and Shinedown’s “Second Chance.” TheWrap called him one of Shelton’s “top 5 finalists,” a description of his standing within Shelton’s team-stage group—not a claim that he finished among the season’s final five contestants overall.
His music career beyond the show
Maloney fronted the band Indulge before pursuing a solo career. His solo releases included the album Where I’ve Been and songs such as “Hillbilly,” “Michigan Moonlight,” and “Living with No Directions.” He also performed at Blake Shelton’s Ole Red venue in Las Vegas.
