UPDATE: The tragic death of former ‘fat fetish’ model Renee Biran, who weighed over 631 lbs, has been confirmed. Biran, who gained notoriety on the reality show My 600lb Life, passed away on May 14, 2021, at the age of 56 in Tennessee. This devastating news comes just three years after she fought severe health complications linked to her weight.
Biran’s battle with her weight began when she was paid by clients to eat, leading to a staggering increase in her size. In a harrowing incident, she collapsed while traveling to a weight loss clinic, fearing she would not survive. “I don’t want to die in this car,” she expressed in distress during the emergency, as captured on her show. Medical professionals later confirmed that her organs were shutting down, prompting immediate hospitalization.
After a brief recovery, Biran managed to lose a remarkable 30 stone, but her journey was far from over.

Initially, she lost significant weight but could not maintain her progress due to health setbacks and difficulties adhering to medical advice. Her story has resonated with many, highlighting the struggles faced by individuals dealing with extreme obesity.
Biran’s death has sparked discussions about the impact of weight-related health issues and the importance of supportive medical care. Her journey serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities surrounding obesity and mental health, particularly in how past traumas can affect physical well-being.
