Lisa Fleming<\/a>, Gina Krasley<\/a>, Robert Buchel and more former My 600-Lb. Life<\/em> stars<\/a> have tragically passed away over the years.<\/p>\n My 600-Lb. Life<\/em> <\/a>premiered on TLC in 2012. While season 1 featured patients who were filmed over a period of seven years, the show tweaked its format and documented cast members for one year starting at season 2. By season 8, some stars were only filmed for six months.<\/p>\n Tragedy struck the reality show for the first time in 2013 when season 1 star Henry Foots died. Five years later, Lexington County Coroner\u2019s Office in South Carolina confirmed to Us Weekly<\/em> that James \u201cL.B.\u201d Bonner died<\/a> from a single self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head at a park.<\/p>\n \u201cOn the show, viewers saw L.B. struggle with obesity following a tragic accident that claimed his right leg. Even though he once weighed 650 pounds, L.B.\u2019s hard work and dedication helped get him in the 200-pound range,\u201d the network said in a statement in August 2018. \u201cHis spirit and determination as displayed through his story, quickly made L.B. a fan favorite, and family and friends have taken to L.B.\u2019s Facebook page to commemorate his life. TLC was deeply saddened to hear of L.B.\u2019s passing and is honored to have shared his honest and courageous story on My 600-lb Life.\u201d<\/p>\n That same month, fellow season 6 star Fleming died at the age of 50, with her daughter, Danielle, telling TMZ that \u201cshe was sick and her body was tired and her body just gave out.\u201d<\/p>\n She paid tribute to her late mother via Facebook at the time.<\/p>\n \u201cI am truly at a loss for words right now. God knows I wanted you hold on until I got here but He knew what was best for me,\u201d Danielle wrote. \u201cI didn\u2019t need to see you like that! This morning I sat and held your hands for 4 hours knowing nothing I could\u2019ve done would bring you back to me. Anybody who knows me knows I gave my mother my ALL! She was my world and I was her #NumberOneGirl. Mommy, I love you from here to the stars and back! Those babies loved you even more. I\u2019m happy you\u2019re no longer in pain and stuck in that bed.\u201d<\/p>\n
