The wife of country music legend Hank Williams Jr., Mary Jane Thomas, reportedly died from complications related to cosmetic surgery.
Thomas, who was married to Williams for more than 30 years, passed back in March. She died from a collapsed lung, TMZ reported Monday. The 58-year-old died one day after she went under the knife for liposuction.
Her death is being classified as an accident, according to the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner, TMZ said. The examiner reportedly confirmed Thomas suffered a fatal injury during a cosmetic procedure.
Thomas had liposuction on her back, arms, and stomach, the report noted, adding that she also had her breast implants removed.
After her passing, the couple’s son Sam released a statement mourning the loss.
“My dear Mama Mary Jane was a beautiful soul who forever affected everyone who knew her,” Sam said, The Daily Wire reported. “She had a smile and presence that lit up every room and she never met a stranger she didn’t befriend. Her spirit was gentle and giving. She could take down a ten-point buck and fix dinner for her grandchildren at the same time! Now she gets to radiate from above with my sister Katherine Diana right by her side.”
“She grew up competing in baton and cheerleading and was one of Hawaiian Tropic’s top models,” the statement continued. “My father fell in love with the Daytona Beach beauty the minute he set eyes on her in the early ’80s. They went on to live the most powerful love story of travel and hunting and raising a family.”
“She is survived by my father, her two parents Ramona and Bill, her brother Andy, her sister Angela, myself and her three grandchildren: Beau Weston, Tennyson Hiram and Audrey Jane,” Sam added. “Rest in peace Mama, I will always be the son of Mary Jane.”
