In just a couple of months, he had gone down to a staggering 278Lb. There were several complications too that occurred from an infection.

James L.B. Bonner
His death has been reported to be a suicide and happened on 2 August 2018. He was found in a ditch with a self-inflicted gunshot wound on the head. Moreover, right before his death, he wrote a cryptic post on social media. In the post, James thanked everyone who showed him enough love and support throughout his journey. However, in the last few days, he was indeed going through some emotional pain, which he couldn’t share with anyone.
Additionally, the post said, “I have realized a few things over the last few days, and it’s time that I face my demons head-on. No matter what you change or the efforts you put forth in life, sometimes you just have to take it on the chin and deal with things your way…Please don’t ever let people you care about not know how you feel.”
Lisa Fleming
It was on 23 August 2018 when Lisa Fleming passed away due to a fatal heart attack at the age of 50. Since her childhood days, she was facing obesity problems because of her binge eating habits. She started doing it to cope with the divorce of her parents. Things became worst after she witnessed her brother getting murdered. It was another pathetic experience. While filming, she weighed more than 700 pounds. For the last four years, she was bedridden and couldn’t take proper care of herself without her children.
Robert Buchel
It was on 15 November 2017 when Robert Buchel passed away on the shooting floor itself. The cause of his death was a heart attack. At the time, he was already engaged to Kathryn Lemanski. On his death, she said that she lost her best friend. Also, she added saying, “He told me I don’t think I’ll make it through the night. I love you, and I always will.” Well, it does sound pathetic, and so it was for Kathryn to deal with it in reality.
Kelly Mason
She is another My 600-Lb Life cast who died due to cardiac arrest in her sleep on 15 February 2019. At that time, Kelly was already shooting for Season 7. Well, she died at the age of 41, which was too early.
Indeed, they are an inspiration!
