Dolly Martinez, a 30-year-old who starred on My 600-Lb. Life, has died. Martinez, who appeared on Season 10 of the hit TLC show, had “the brightest personality” and could “light up any room with her laughter, her kindness, and her loving spirit,” her sister Lindsey Cooper wrote in a Facebook post announcing her passing on Saturday. “She had a way of making everyone feel special, and her warmth will stay with us forever,” Cooper wrote. “While our hearts are broken here, I find comfort in knowing she is now reunited with our dad in heaven. I can only imagine the joy of that reunion.” At the time of her appearance on the show in January 2022, Martinez required oxygen and weighed 593 pounds. The Texas resident later moved from Fort Worth to Houston in hopes of qualifying for weight-loss surgery, TMZ reported. Though she lost 40 pounds, the TLC star ultimately did not qualify. “The only thing powerful enough to distract me from darker thoughts is food. Food is my go-to drug that takes my pain away,” Martinez said during her episode, according to Us Weekly.
