My 600-pound Life star, Gina Marie Krasley, has passed away. She was 30 years old.
The reality TV star, who appeared in season 8 of the hit TLC series, died on August 1. Her cause of death has not been disclosed, although her obituary says she died “at home surrounded by her loving family”.
Her funeral will be Sunday (August 8) in New Jersey. Her family asks participants to wear their favorite colors: pink and purple. They are also asking that in lieu of flowers, those who wish to honor Krasley to donate to a mental health charity of their choice.
According to Ace Show Biz, just weeks before her death, Krasley told her social media followers that she had developed an unidentified illness. In a video, she described her symptoms, including immobility, pain in her legs and numbness in her fingers.
Krasley said her mother had to hold her phone to film the clip because her fingers were so numb. She told her subscribers that she was going to see a neurologist on July 29 and was receiving home care at that time.
If you’re not a My 600-Lb Life fan, you might have seen Krasley on social media. She is said to have started the viral “dance has no size limit” trend on TikTok.
While on the reality show, Krasley showcased the start of her weight loss journey, starting at 700 pounds. Apparently struggling to keep up with the program, she abruptly left the show. She then sued the production company for mistreatment, alleging that the team had set up scenes of her overeating.
After leaving the show, she embarked on her own weight loss journey which she recounted on her social media accounts.
