  • Dolly Martinez, a 30-year-old former participant on the TLC show 'My 600-Lb Life,' passed away on Saturday, her sister Lindsey Cooper confirmed via Facebook.
  • Martinez appeared on season 10 of 'My 600-Lb Life,' battling obesity complicated by congestive heart failure and requiring supplemental oxygen for basic tasks at over 590 pounds.
