This isn’t the first tragedy the family has faced as their brother Anthony and younger sister Destiny both also passed away.
According to Mail Online, Lashaee shared a post on her sister’s page, writing: “To everyone who genuinely love and support me, I love you and I’m grateful to have touched millions of lives and hearts around the world (sic).
“Living my life with so much pain for so long I’ve come to realize that God makes no mistakes.
“I’m grateful for my journey and all I’ve been through. I don’t regret a single moment. Love you all.”
Lashaee revealed her struggle with mental health and the trauma of her brother dying suddenly in her arms from a blood clot on the series.
According to The Sun, Lashaee was one of the several former My 600lb Life Stars who sued the production company Megalomedia, accusing them of failing to provide adequate mental health treatment following the show.
