Her brother shared that family visited her home that morning and noticed she was having trouble breathing. Later, a nurse called the family to say Latonya had gone into cardiac arrest and was taken to the hospital, where she passed away.

On the show, Latonya’s weight loss journey was followed closely, but Dr. Younan Nowzaradan released her as a patient because she wasn’t sticking to the program.

Condolences to her friends and family.
