Robert Buchel, who appeared on the TLC show "My 600 Pound Life" has died.

The New Jersey resident, who weighed 842 pounds, was featured on Wednesday night's episode where viewers learned he suffered a heart attack during the filming of the show.

Yeah let’s make fun of a person who just died...

It's Trash TV. Well known that being obese is hazardous, like injection drugs and opiates. Why should I be sympathetic if they die?

How is it news? They showed it in the episode.

I was watching 'My 600 lb Life' today and caught the end of Henry Foots episode. It was said at the end that he died. I think he had a heart attack because I've read where others have posted that. But, they had followed him for 7 years. I don't think they follow them that long anymore. I thought it was for only a few years.

What was he doing on a show called "My 600 Pound Life" if he weighed 842 pounds?
