00:01My 600-lb Life star Sean Millican, who was known as the reality TV series' heaviest

00:05subject, has died days after being hospitalized.

00:09Millican passed away on Sunday, February 17, 2019, according to a Facebook post by his

00:14father, Matt.

00:15Apparently, Millican's death was the unfortunate result of complications stemming from an infection.

00:21In his post, Matt told followers,

00:22Sean was admitted into the hospital a couple days prior because of an infection.

00:26Sunday, he was having problems with his breathing.

00:29They were able to resuscitate him, and a short time later, his heart stopped.

00:33Calling his son a good man, Matt added that he also had a good heart.

00:36Radar Online noted that Millican had been living alone in an apartment in Texas.

00:41He was just 29 years old.

00:43According to Us Weekly, Millican suffered a debilitating leg injury while in his senior

00:47year of high school, and as a result, he became bedridden.

00:50He had also struggled with overeating since childhood.

00:53In 2016, he made an appearance on the TLC show My 600-lb Life.

00:58All right, the scale said over the limit, so this scale goes only to 800 pounds.

01:05At the time, Millican was the heaviest person to ever be on the show.

01:08He first weighed in at 919 pounds and later weighed 1,003 pounds before he was admitted

01:14to the hospital and put on a controlled diet.

01:16You may be the heaviest person alive right now.

01:20This is not a good place to be.

01:22During his time on the series, Millican relocated from California to Houston, Texas in an effort

01:27to qualify for a weight-loss surgery.

01:29Before the move, which would take between 30 and 40 hours, Millican had admitted to the

01:33My 600-lb Life cameras that he wasn't, quote, 100 percent certain that was the right decision

01:38to make.

01:39If I fall, it would be near impossible for people to pick me up.

01:44Speaking to Radar Online, Millican's friend Ashley Boone shared that he would forever be

01:48thought of as a special guy.

01:50She added,

01:51He was definitely a loner and kept to himself, but once you knew him, he opened up and showed

01:55his witty side.

01:56He was extremely funny, artistic, and kind.

01:59Boone also opened up about Millican's health to Radar Online, revealing that he was greatly

02:03affected by his mother's death.

02:05She explained,

02:06I think it changed him because he had to become independent, which he'd never done before.

02:10She added that Millican depended on Social Security checks to pay for his living arrangements.

02:14Millican's mother once told My 600-lb Life that her son needed to be, quote, taken care

02:19of from head to toe.

02:20I miss being able to get up, move, go places.

02:24It's been eight years since I went out in public.

02:27Because of his inability to care for himself and to get his weight under control, Millican

02:31said that he worried he wouldn't be able to live past 30 years old.

02:34I'm a prisoner.

02:35All I want is out.

02:36And I never really thought my life would end up like this.

02:42In his Facebook post announcing Millican's passing, his father, Matt, said that his son,

02:46quote, lost the battle he'd been fighting with his weight, but is now free to be with

02:50his mom.

02:51He added,

02:52peace now.

02:53In my mind, a lot better place without the struggles we have with our bodies on Earth.

02:57Our thoughts are with Sean Millican's loved ones during this difficult time.
