Participant of 'My life with 300 kilos' died after having lost 226 kilos
Relatives request help to pay funeral expenses, since they do not have the money.
Destinee LaShaee, a 30-year-old transgender woman, became popular for her participation in the seventh season of the program broadcast in 2019, "Kilos mortales". She was the show's first transgender contestant, and the show announced that she never felt like she fit in.
After achieving his goal, after losing 226 kilos, he passed away. So far, the reason for his death is unknown.
The news became known on social networks, when his brother Wayne confirmed the terrible news with a message on Facebook. In the publication he expressed that he accepts her as she is, with all her flaws and regretted not having been with her when she felt alone.
Some time before they had lost their sister Destiny, who he assured that surely she did not want this to have happened.
Currently, the family cannot cover the funeral expenses, so they have started a crowdfunding fundraiser, requesting $25,000.
Destiny's life
Destinee was born Matthew Ventress, and lived in a foster home. His weight was something he always wanted to change.
She said that everything she did was to escape the depression and pain she felt. Because of this, she saw food as the only thing she could turn to to make herself feel better. What saved her was what destroyed her little by little.
At the time that the DKISS network made the announcement of her participation, they said that although she loved her curves, she had to say goodbye to them to achieve her complete transition.
In this edition of the show, LaShaee weighed 329 kg and thanks to gastric sleeve surgery, she reduced her weight to 103 kg. As a result of a healthy lifestyle, he managed to lose a total of 226 kilos.
He fulfilled the goal by managing to lose the necessary kilos and in 2020 he underwent an operation in which the excess skin would be removed.
He showed the process on his social networks and thanks to this, he ended up being a motivation for many people.
