Dolly Martinez, who appeared on My 600-Lb. Life, has passed away at 30 years old.
On April 11, the TLC star’s sister, Lindsey, shared the heartbreaking news in a Facebook post.
“Dolly had the brightest personality. She could light up any room with her laughter, her kindness, and her loving spirit,” Lindsey wrote.
“She had a way of making everyone feel special, and her warmth will stay with us forever.”
Dolly’s mother, Staci Thurman, told TMZ that the reality star died of congestive heart failure at a Fort Worth hospital.
According to her mom, Dolly was admitted on March 29 after experiencing fluid buildup around her heart and lungs.
She was placed into a medically induced coma and put on a ventilator the following day, but sadly never recovered.
ICYMI: Dolly appeared on Season 10 of the TLC show.
At the start of her episode, she weighed 593 pounds, relied on oxygen, and needed assistance with daily tasks.
She later moved from Fort Worth to Houston to be closer to her doctor in hopes of qualifying for weight loss surgery.
However, even after losing 40 pounds, she was not approved for weight loss surgery during her time on the show.
