Shame on TLC and anyone who watched this show for exploiting this person who obviously had serious mental issues.

"Transgender" is impossible, and only indicates serious mental illness. These people need mental treatment, not people going along with their deranged fantasies.

No official cause of death was reported. Probably from the jab. But it's just my guess. Another case of jabicide and death by vaxident.

Pretty much everyone on this show has psychological problems that need to be addressed. This 'guy' is Exhibit A. Even if they lose weight on a strict diet, I have heard most of them gain it all back.

The weight is always a symptom of some kind of mental issue: Depression, abuse, neglect, broken family, bad relationships. It usually goes all the way back to childhood. These people are to be pitied. They need help. They are all slowly killing themselves. By the time they get to a high weight, the odds of living a long life are very low.

I don't watch this show, but I've glanced at it once or twice. They exploit everyone, but in the end, it's up to the person to make the decision appear on camera.

As Mark Twain said of India, ‘everything that has been done by god or man has been done in this land.’
Apparently that’s now true of the US. Not in a good way.
But it’s all happening and if it’s put on camera it’s celebrity so we have something unimportant to think about as a diversion. Better that diversion than way, way too much food.

Even when we had cable we never watched TLC, it's the equivalent of the old carnival sideshows.

It's a side show program for sure. But TLC takes these people on for the show at their expense. The obese get offered free doctors care to be on the show and they take the life line. Mental, sure but for what ever reason the do want to get better. Some make it some don't.

I guess people watch this POS of a show because it makes them feel better about themselves, as in "I may be fat, but I'm not that fat. Or maybe it's just a fascination with freaks, like they had in carnivals. The producers of shows like this would sell their own daughters into sex slavery for a buck.

I remember first getting cable. Among the choices was something called "The Learning Channel" - which I naively thought would have educational courses.

His bro implies that he took his own life. Trans people have mental issues. Rather than recognize them and get them help, they celebrate and exploit them. But they are essentially alone.

We are beginning to sound silly when we blame every death on “the jab”. People do still die as a result of other conditions and their own acts. This one sounds like a suicide. Those who read the article will find his brother’s statement:
“No no no I’m sorry bro, I accept you for you who are, I accept every flaw that come with you,” Compton wrote. “I’m sorry you felt alone, I’m sorry you felt you had nobody else to turn too [sic], I’m sorry you felt you had no other option.”
“…had no other option…” That’s suicide talk.

What amazes me is to see the news include the statement of the deceased's little brother, who referred to him as "bro", not as the "gender" that he wants to be. And the article, itself, avoided using either "him" or "her".
The despondent dude with a fatal addiction to comfort food heaped more depression on himself by trying escape into a completely different identity.

I feel sorry for the pall bearers if they go that route. Sorry for a death, but celebrity for this reason was wrong from the start. RIP.

Suicide involves arrogant self-absorption and a desire to blame everyone around for one's own bad decisions. Suicide, aka "self-murder" is the ultimate in human arrogance.
If you think your life is worth nothing, you haven't met Jesus Christ, who loves you so much that He died on a Roman cross in order that you may enjoy life eternal with Him. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved.
