Latonya Pottain has passed away.
Known for appearing on Season 11 of “My 600-lb Life,” Pottain died on Saturday at CHRISTUS Highland Medical Center in Shreveport, Louisiana, The Post can confirm.
She was 40 years old.
A representative for the Natchitoches Parish Coroner’s Office told The Post that no autopsy was performed, but a preliminary cause of death revealed Pottain died of congestive heart failure. Since Pottain died of natural causes, there was no need for an autopsy. We were told that her body has been released to a funeral home of her family’s choosing, per the coroner.
Pottain passed away just hours after spending time with her family over the weekend.
Her brother shared the heartbreaking final time she saw her loved ones, revealing that several family members went to the reality star’s home on Saturday morning and witnessed that she was having trouble breathing.
He told TMZ that Pottain didn’t look well and expressed how uncomfortable she felt.
Pottain’s brother said the nurse called the family to inform them that Latonya had called an ambulance to bring her to the hospital because she was going into cardiac arrest, which ultimately took her life.
Pottain’s loved ones are finalizing funeral arrangements.
“Please join us in prayer for this dear family as they complete final care arrangements for their deceased loved one,” her online obituary read, which also included links to send flowers and to donate to her memorial.
Pottain’s heart issues were well documented, with her death coming roughly one year after she begged fans to “pray for me” amid her health battle.
“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,” she wrote in her alarming Facebook message, per The Sun.

Thank you very much and God bless you.
600 lb person dies. Least surprising headline ever.
Still, I pity people who are so addicted to something they would rather die than give it up.
How’d you like to be a pallbearer for her?
>> “please keep me lifted”
With what? A port cargo crane?
(by the way, this thread would’ve been okay without pictures😉)
Everybody dies.
But the morbidly obese markedly increase their risk of going far earlier, and far less easier, than people with a healthy weight.
The skinnier really will inherit the earth.
I still don’t understand how these persons let themselves get so huge.
Probably sat on her heart.
They had to rent a fork life......
All 30 pall bearers pulled their backs
fork “lift”
EAT.
SLEEP.
REPEAT......................
It takes true dedication to eating - and eating a lot of junk - to get that big. Last summer I cat-sat for a forty-ish woman who is about five feet tall and 300 lbs-ish. She would devour 24 McD’s chicken nuggets from pick up at the drive thru before even arriving home. And she wondered why she has health problems…
How did she wipe?
40 very high quality years!
Call in the Cat Skid Steer Loader
We had a 400 lb medical patient once. She begged for food throughout the day and night. She was on a prescribed diet, but she wanted more. Her family was incensed that we wouldn’t give her extra food.
They allowed that cavern picture on TV?
Egads.
She’s way too heavy. People need to help each other get healthier, when possible.
“How did you get so fat?” Bill asked.“Two ways,” Latonya said. “Gradually and then suddenly.”
“What brought it on?”
“Friends,” said Latonya. “I had a lot of friends. They was all insisting I eat.”
That is really sad.
Dig a really big hole like for a horse.
Don’t need that mass no mo.
Just think...in heaven she has a new body.
Hope she’s there...grubbing out at the Lords table.
