Death of Sean Milliken, Former 'My 600-lb Life' Star
Tragic LossSean Milliken, a former participant in the reality TV show 'My 600-lb Life,' passed away at the age of 29 due to medical complications stemming from a severe infection. Weighing over 900 pounds at his heaviest, Milliken succumbed to his illness at a Texas hospital on Sunday.
Initial Struggles
Milliken's battle with obesity began in childhood, escalating after his parents' divorce. To cope with emotional turmoil, Sean turned to food, losing control over his eating.
'My 600-lb Life' Journey
Hopes and ChallengesIn 2016, Milliken appeared on 'My 600-lb Life' with a weight exceeding 900 pounds. Confined to his home and unable to stand for more than 30 seconds, the California native shared his struggles: "Every day I wake up, that's what I have to deal with."
"I've just gotten so big. I can barely move. All I do is go from my bed, to the bathroom to see if my mom's up. I can stand up but I can only take a few steps, so I just stay in my bed regardless. I can't do anything for myself anymore."
Weight Loss and Setbacks
Despite his weight challenges, Milliken reportedly lost over 400 pounds during his personalized weight loss program on the show. However, in a recent update on 'My 600-lb Life: Where Are They Now?' segment last year, Sean revealed his mother had passed away.
