    Dolly featured in season 10 of the television show which aired in January
    2022 when she was 25 years old.

    During her time on the show, she bravely opened up about her poor mental health and struggles with food addiction.

    She started the process at 593 pounds which meant she needed extra oxygen
    and assistance to live her day to day life.

    Dolly had already suffered from congestive heart failure as a result of
    her weight.

    Originally from Fort Worth, she moved to Houston where she hoped she would
    be able to get weight loss surgery.

    Despite losing 40 pounds while on the TLC show, she did not qualify for
    the procedure.

    Her Instagram account details numerous struggles throughout her life.

    While private, the bio states, rCLNot homeless anymore. Living day by day.rCY

    During her time on the show, it was revealed that Dolly and her estranged husband were unable to look after their daughter who was removed from
    their care at just 6 days old by Child Protective Services.

    It is understood that the child remains under the guardianship of DollyrCOs mother.

    After returning to live with her husband, his alleged abusive behavior saw Dolly enter a homeless shelter, according to IMDB.

    DollyrCOs death comes less than a year after fellow My 600-lb. Life alum Latonya Pottain died at the age of 40 from congestive heart failure.
