My 600-lb Life favorite James King's death on April 3 was not due to COVID-19 but it was actually due to heart complications after weight peak at 840.The reality star's heart 'gave out' after he got got very sick back in early February as his liver and kidneys were shutting down due to his weight a family member toldTMZ on Sunday.He started on the TLC program in 2017 at 791 pounds but by the end of 2018 was up to 840 pounds as the publication was told that he was transported to a local hospital in Paducah, Kentucky on February 10 but had to be transported to Nashville as they were better equipped to treat a patient of his size.
