Latonya Pottain, who appeared on My 600-lb Life, has died at age 40.
Pottain died May 17 in a hospital in Louisiana. The preliminary cause was determined to be congestive heart failure, according to TMZ, which was first to report the news. Earlier that day, her family noticed she was having trouble breathing, her brother told the outlet. She later called an ambulance to take her to the hospital, where she died.
Latonya shared her story in My 600-lb Life Season 11. The TLC reality series follows obese patients who are hoping to be approved for weight-loss surgery by Houston physician Dr. Younan Nowzaradan, aka Dr. Now.
“Food is like my best friend,” she explained during her 2023 appearance on the show. “When I eat, it takes the stress away. That’s what I do to help me cope with things.”
When Latonya was 12, she began turning to food for comfort after the sudden death of her mother. She began living on her own at 15, and with no one to watch over her, she began to gain a lot of weight. The problems spiraled, and by the time of her My 600-lb Life appearance, she weighed more than 600 pounds.
While Latonya knew her eating habits were not healthy, she struggled to change her behavior, despite stern warnings from Dr. Now. After a health scare landed her in the hospital, he said he was “concerned about her heart.”
“Some of the tests are a little concerning, and I want to address that,” he said. “Some of the tests show that her heart may be struggling a great deal right now.”
Latonya was hospitalized for a few weeks and lost weight on a medically supervised diet. But Dr. Now emphasized that she was not out of the woods.
“Her whole body is sitting very close to her breaking point,” he said. “If she doesn’t continue to lose a lot more weight, then her situation can get critical again very fast.”
Latonya is not the first My 600-lb Life alum to die after appearing on the show.
Season 1 cast member Henry Foots died one year after his episode aired. Sean Millikin died in 2019 after sharing his story in season 4. Season 5 alum James King also died after his My 600-lb Life episodes aired, as did season 6’s Renee Biran, James L.B. Bonner, and Lisa Fleming, and season 8’s Gina Krasley.
My 600-lb Life alums Vianey Rodriguez, Larry Myers Jr., Paul MacNeill, Angela Gutierrez, Destinee LaShanee, Laura Ann Perez, Ashley Randall, Coliesa McMillian, and Rob Buchel have also died.

JTBC’s upcoming drama “Good Boy” has dropped thrilling main posters ahead of its premiere!
On May 20, the production team of Good Boy released the main poster comes in two versions: Hero and Winner.
“Good Boy” is a comic action drama that follows a group of former national athletes Yoon Dong Joo (Park Bo Gum), Ji Han Na (Kim So Hyun), Kim Jong Hyun (Lee Sang Yi), Go Man Sik (Heo Sung Tae), and Shin Jae Hong (Tae Won Suk)—who become police officers through a special recruitment program. Swapping medals for badges, they take on a world full of corruption, deception, and injustice.
First, the “Hero” version of the main poster contrasts the glorious past of the medalists standing tall on the podium with the gritty reality they now face as police officers. Boxing gold medalist Yoon Dong Joo, shooting gold medalist Ji Han Na, fencing silver medalist Kim Jong Hyun, wrestling bronze medalist Go Man Sik, and discus throw bronze medalist Shin Jae Hong all became heroes who received nationwide cheers after pushing themselves to the limit—scraping their knees, getting blisters on their hands and feet, and running until their mouths tasted of iron.
However, after the Olympic flame cooled and they were forced to end their athletic careers for various reasons, they were confronted with a harsh reality. Now, as special recruits in the police force, they are shown sitting exhausted on the floor below the podium, their bodies battered and bruised from sweat and toil. This image vividly conveys the weight of their difficult new reality, standing in stark contrast to the day when everyone was burning with passion.”
The “Winner” version of the main poster captures the Good Boy avengers as they boldly confront criminals of injustice and immorality by standing up to them with rules and principles—seizing victory once again.
The production team remarked, “The two versions of the main poster released this time visually encapsulate the narrative that ‘Good Boy’ will unfold. Both the glory of the days when they won medals and the tough battles they face now are all part of ‘Good Boy.’ You’ll be able to experience this exhilarating story, full of energy, laughter, action, youth, and justice, on screen starting from May 31. We hope you’ll join us for the first broadcast, which is now just ten days away.”
“Good Boy” is set to premiere on May 31 at 10:40 p.m. KST.
In the meantime, watch Park Bo Gum in “The Seasons: Cantabile of Park Bo Gum”:
