My 600-lb Life star Latonya Pottain dead at 40 after asking fans ‘pray for me’ in concerning post
By Teresa Roca,
7 hours agoMY 600-lb Life star Latonya Pottain has died at the age of 40 from natural causes.
Latonya died on Saturday, May 17 at CHRISTUS Highland Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana, according to TMZ.
According to the Natchitoches Parish Coroner’s Office, the preliminary autopsy shows she died of congestive heart failure.
Latonya’s brother told the outlet that family visited her on Saturday morning and noticed she was having difficulty breathing.
Latonya was rushed to the hospital later in the day and went into cardiac arrest.
The final autopsy remains pending.
HEALTH ISSUES
Latonya has been hospitalized with heart issues in the past.
The death comes nearly a year after Latonya begged her Facebook followers to pray for her during her health battle.
She wrote, “Y’all pray for me my heart not working right and there is nothing more the doctors can do here in Louisiana please keep me lifted.”
TIME ON TV
She appeared on Season 11 of My 600-lb Life.
During her time on the series, she struggled to stay on her weight-loss plan.
Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, also known as Dr. Now, encouraged her to lost 40 to 50 pounds ahead of her surgery.
She hired a personal trainer to help her with her weight-loss goal.
She claimed her struggle with mental health issues led to her overeating to numb her pain.
“When I eat, it takes the stress away,” she said on the series. “That’s what I do to help me cope with things.
“I know the food is unhealthy and not good for me. But with the habit that I have for long, it’s hard to change it. I’m disappointed in myself for getting to this place.”
As Latonya continued to gain weight with each visit, Dr. Now informed her he would be unable to help her.
She initially saw Dr. Now when she was 482 pounds.
She returned five years later when she was 631 pounds.
When he asked how motivated she is to change her life, she responded, “I’m very motivated… this is why I came here.
“I finally have a great support system with my family. I never reached out to my family. I tried to do it on my own. I reached out to them and they really came through.”
She also credited her fiancé for helping support her.
“I want to get married, I want to have my own child, start a family and be normal,” she said.
