Dolly Martinez, a 30-year-old star of TLC's My 600-Lb. Life, has passed away, her family confirmed in a Facebook post.
Her sister, Lindsey Cooper, described Martinez as someone with a 'bright personality' who brought joy to those around her.
Martinez had been hospitalized and was 'fighting for her life' on April 10, according to a Facebook post from her sister.
Her episode on the show documented her struggles with food addiction, mental health issues, and unstable personal circumstances, making her journey one of the more emotionally complex narratives featured in the series.
Martinez had already experienced congestive heart failure once due to obesity-related complications and had been on extra oxygen support.
