My 600-Lb. Life star Pauline Potter has died age 62.
Pauline found fame on the US reality show after entering the Guinness Book of Records as the World’s Heaviest Living Woman.
Her son revealed the tragic news of her death in an emotional video where he said: “Unfortunately, my mom has passed away this past Thursday on Thanksgiving. I will try to make this as short as I can. Back in January of this year of 2025, we both got in a pretty bad car accident.”
He explained: “We were driving early in the morning. It was still dark outside. We were driving on a dark two lane highway, and there was a truck and trailer that was stopped in the middle of the road. And we did not see it … and we hit the trailer.

“Also, at the same time, um, there was an oncoming car in the other lane, so there was no way to go around it. My mom was driving, I was asleep in the passenger seat, with the seat reclined, and my mom tried to swerve to go around it.
“However, the passenger side of the car, hit the corner of the trailer and completely spun us around, and when we stopped, we were facing the opposite direction on the opposite side of the road. At the time of impact, we were going 50 miles per hour.”
He added: “However, at the time, we did not know that. I was completely out of it, of course, because I was asleep when it happened.”
