While most reality shows are about attractive, funny, charming stars, “My 600-Lb Life” brought a new perspective to showbiz as it focused on the lives of individuals suffering from excessive weight gain and their path to a healthier life.
The TLC show debuted in 2012 and soon became a success with several viewers attached to people’s stories but, over the years, some stars have met a tragic end. Here are those stars.
HENRY FOOTS
Henry Foots’s story on “My 600-Lb Life” was both inspiring and encouraging as he lost a whopping 440 pounds during his seven-year weight loss journey. But, unfortunately, Foots did not live to enjoy his dreams.
Foots joined the show in its first season, weighing a massive 715 lbs. However, with the help of Dr. Now and an improved diet, Foots was able to experience a healthier life and weighed a stunning 340 lbs.
After gaining his mobility, Foots returned to work as a shuttle bus driver but unfortunately, he was said to have suffered a medical episode and crashed his wheel into the car of another lady who died from her injuries.
A few months later, Foots passed away, but reports have it that his cause of death is unrelated to his weight or the accident.
