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.
