HEARTBREAKING HOAX! Beloved Dr. Now from 1000-lb Sisters DEAD?! The TRUTH Behind the October 20th Tragedy!
R.I.P Dr. Now… OR IS IT?! Fans in Tears Over Death Rumors!
The internet exploded with grief this week as a shocking report claimed the beloved bariatric surgeon, Dr. Younan Nowzaradan (known simply as Dr. Now to millions of TLC fans), had passed away on October 20th!
Social media was immediately flooded with “R.I.P.” messages, prayers, and desperate pleas for answers after the news spread like wildfire, devastating fans of 1000-lb Sisters and My 600-lb Life who adore the straight-talking doctor.
But the emotional outpouring has a dark twist: sources confirm the heartbreaking report appears to be a SICK DEATH HOAX!
The Doctor is IN: Dr. Now SLAMS ‘Fake Stories’
In a massive relief to the reality TV universe, reports quickly surfaced revealing that the 81-year-old medical icon is, thankfully, ALIVE and WELL!
Dr. Now, known for his no-nonsense approach to weight loss, had to personally take to social media to shut down the “false and completely bogus” rumors, warning fans that “fake stories spread fast, but the truth always wins!”
“I am here to tell you that I am doing well, and I am here,” the TV legend stated, confirming he is still seeing patients every day.

Why the Confusion? The Doctor’s Name Linked to Slayton Family Tragedy!
While Dr. Now is very much alive, the confusion may stem from the Slayton family’s real-life history of heartbreak:
- Tammy Slaytonβs Husband Died: Tammy tragically lost her husband, Caleb Willingham, in 2023.
- Cousin Katieβs Death: The Slaytons recently mourned the loss of their cousin, Katie Slaton, who tragically died at the age of 37 after battling aggressive cancer.
The cruel death hoax targeting Dr. Now is just the latest in a string of 1000-lb Sisters tragedies and false rumors that have plagued the Slayton family and their medical support team.
TLC fans can breathe a huge sigh of relief! Dr. Now is NOT resting in peaceβhe’s still actively saving lives and demanding that patients stick to his 1200-calorie diet!
