Following a successful stint on "My 600-Lb Life," Henry returned to work as a shuttle bus driver in 2012 after gaining back much of his mobility. However, as Click2Houston reported, Foots later suffered a "medical episode" while on shift, with eyewitnesses claiming he had passed out at the wheel and crashed his vehicle into a woman standing on the corner of an intersection near the Texas Medical Center. The woman was later identified as Carlet Michelle Blake, who sadly died from her injuries. 

Per The Cinemaholic, Henry Foots passed away just a few months later on May 16, 2013. His cause of death is currently unknown. However, it has been reported that his death is unrelated to his weight-loss journey or the tragic shuttle bus accident. 

His official obituary doesn't provide any information regarding the exact details of his death either, and simply states, "Mr. Henry Foots went home to be with the Lord on Thursday May 16, 2013."
