1000-Lb Sisters star Tammy Slaton's estranged husband Caleb Willingham tragically passed away on June 30, 2023.

Caleb Willingham died on June 30, 2023.
Paramedics and Gibsonburg Fire first responders arrived at the scene at Windsor Lane Rehabilitation Center in Ohio prior to police. After Willingham lost consciousness, medical personnel attempted CPR on him, but were unable to revive him.
An autopsy report detailing his official cause of death has not been publicly released.
Caleb Willingham and Tammy Slaton were separated at the time.
"The death was then turned over to the Sandusky County Coroner's office due to the EMS Captain being unable to make contact with the patient's personal physician," the police paperwork read, noting there was no evidence of foul play or criminal activity.
"This death investigation is concluded by this department," the report said.

However, only a few months later, Willingham announced in a since-deleted social media post that they were separated, clarifying it wasn't his choice and Slaton made the decision to leave him.
