The death of former 'My 600-lb Life' star LB Bonner was a case of suicide, according to the Lexington County Coroner’s Office in South Carolina. Bonner was reportedly found dead last Thursday with a "single gunshot wound to (the) head" in a ditch in a Lexington park.

Prior to his death, the 30-year-old had left a cryptic message on Facebook, saying, "I just wanted to thank everyone who has shown me love and support throughout my journey...I've realized a few things over the last few days its time that I face my demons, head on...No matter what you change or the efforts you put forth in life, sometimes you just have to take it on the chin and deal with things your own way…Again, thank y’all so much...Please don’t ever let people you care about not know how you feel…”. He had also shared a photo of the late Robin Williams, which had the quote on it: "Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be Kind. ALWAYS.” He captioned the photo as, "This is so true, step out your comfort zone to be kind.”
