Dolly Martinez, who became known after appearing on the popular U.S. reality show 'My 600-Lb. Life (My 600-Lb. Life)', has died at the young age of 30, shocking many.
On the 12th (local time), Page Six reported that Dolly Martinez's sister, Lindsay Cooper, announced the news on her social media last Saturday.
Lindsay Cooper mourned the deceased, saying "Dolly had the brightest personality that could light up any space with her laughter, kindness and loving soul," and added, "She had the ability to make everyone feel special, and that warmth will be with us forever."
She went on to say, "Our hearts are broken, but we find comfort in the fact that she has been reunited with dad in heaven," adding, "Dolly, rest in peace. You will always be loved and missed and will never be forgotten," which moved those who read it. The specific cause of death was not revealed, but it was reported that Dolly had been fighting for her life in the hospital until the day before her death.
Dolly Martinez appeared on season 10 of TLC's "My 600-Lb. Life," where she revealed her desperate battle with food addiction. At the time she appeared, she weighed about 593 pounds (about 269 kg) and had difficulty with daily life, and her health was so poor that she had to rely on an oxygen respirator.
Through the show she showed determination, losing 40 pounds (about 18 kg), but she ultimately did not receive approval for weight-loss surgery, which drew regret. She reportedly endured not only physical pain but also difficult times with mental health issues.
The program "My 600-Lb. Life," which chronicles a year in the lives of severely obese patients, has unfortunately continued to see reports of cast members' deaths, raising concerns among fans. In June 2023, Larry Myers Jr., who had gained attention for the song "Mr. Buttermilk Biscuit," died of a heart attack at age 49.
