There is chatter in 1000-Lb. Sisters Facebook fan groups that Amy’s husband Michael Halterman is dead. Did something happen? Has he passed away? Here’s what we know.

1000-Lb. Sisters: Wait, Is Michael Halterman Dead?

A rumor has been making rounds that Amy’s husband Michael Halterman is actually dead. The rumor speculates he passed away. But, here’s where things get a little strange, the posts paying tribute to the dead Michael notes that he passed away on February 18th, 2008. And, we probably don’t have to tell you why that math doesn’t line up.

Michael and Amy Halterman just gave birth to a beautiful baby boy three months ago. Moreover, they are currently on a small getaway for their anniversary. So, unless Michael had a ghost baby and Amy is on vacation with herself… It isn’t really possible that he died in February of 2008.

So, Did Someone Else Pass Away

Turns out, some lines just got crossed. There was someone in the Halterman family that passed away on this day. But, it was Michael’s father. Not Michael. Donald “Don” Halterman Sr. passed away on February 18th, 2008. He was 60-years-old at the time of his passing. He was survived by his wife Barbara and his six children. His daughter, Angela Brown. And, his sons Jason, Michael, John, Randy, and Donald. He also had four grandchildren at the time of his passing.

Unfortunately, it looks like someone got ahold of Michael’s father’s obituary and got the information mixed up. Most fans would argue this isn’t really that unfortunate as no one liked the thought of Amy Halterman raising her son Gage alone without the help of her husband Michael.

Tammy Also The Victim of Dead Rumors

Michael Halterman isn’t alone in the dead rumors club. Tammy Slaton is always dying according to the headlines. In fact, very little time passes by at all before an outlet somewhere reports she has passed away. As we previously reported, Tammy Slaton has openly admitted she’s frustrated with these dead rumors.

Amy and Michael are currently on a getaway enjoying their anniversary. He’s not dead. Neither is Tammy. No one in the 1000-Lb. Sisters family has died recently. So, if you see someone talking about it on Facebook… You can rest easy knowing it is just a death hoax.

  1. Tammy needs help now!!! I don’t think TLC should condone addition of food. People who are addicted to food need help and intervention too. You have a show Intervention for people who are addicted to drugs & alcohol. Please help Tammy!!!

    1. Amen.. I couldn’t agree more. I met the girls long before their TV show, and to see Tammy go downhill is heartbreaking. I love the show, but what is the show trying to convey? Watching a woman fall apart because they are doing a great job at that. I’ve have been wondering why there is no interventions, a constant nutrition specialist, a daily trainer, therapist.. it’s not just obesity killing her, I pray that someone steps in a changes how TLC is doing this show. She deserves the very best. Be strong Tammy your journey is far from over.

      1. She has to do the work herself. You can’t force anyone to stay on a diet. She can get all the help in the world, but if she doesn’t help herself, she will fail.

  2. Tammy is her own worse enemy. She’s not even trying and is blaming everyone for the condition she’s in. She really needs help. First with her head to find out the real reason she has a food addiction. Then maybe she needs to be committed to the hospital and put on a strict diet to help her lose some weight. That’s what Dr. Now does with some of his patients.

  3. We have a saying “if ya don’t use it ya loose it”I would highly suggest Tam ( whoo I getI love her laugh,get to the core of it in a 12 step over eaters anonamous meeting on her own without everyone involved in that part and learn who she is and work the 12 steps with new friends she can relate with. It has saved my life doing just that for drinking,but I had to fully concede to my inner most self that I was powerless to do it and,here’s the bigi Ask for help and do what is asked all the way . I am 30 years with no booze last Oct, I can tell you Tam that it’s an inside job I can’t he can I will let him meaning An HP. alot of us truley do give a damn ya know and you Are so Worth it miss thing

  4. Tammy needs to get a hold of herself. She feels sorry for herself and that’s not the solution. She isn’t motivated and her family can’t make her want to lose the weight, she has to want it. I don’t think she cares. I have watched how her jealousy of Amy and Chris’s surgery has gotten the best of her. That could be you, Tammy, you just got to really want it. I mean really want it. Your everyday struggles should be enough to push you to get there. If I was your family I would give some tough love. Stop enabling you. You want to be petted, babied and felt sorry for. Snap out of it girl. And its not all about aan, either!!!! Life has a lot to offer and it’s passing you by. If all your health issues haven’t caused you to put down that fork, I don’t think anything will. Woman up, get off your fat azz and do something about it!

    1. I totally agree with you! She thinks that she is all that matters. If everyone would walk away she’d have to learn the hard way! Everyone needs to leave her alone like she’s always screeching. Walk away! Just say no! What happens from there is totally on her! If she’s committing suicide you need to quit prolonging it. I’m disabled and have lived in constant pain since I was 14 years old. I’m now 67 years old and wish that all I had to do was loose weight to lessen the pain! Tammy makes me so mad. I started out feeling sorry for her now all I feel is resentment toward her! Your pain is every single part your fault! Don’t tell me if something hurts you. Nothing I do can get rid of my pain! You have no idea how lucky you are that you could stop your pain by just putting your fork down!!!

  7. It’s Tammy’s body and her life. She can decide to live or die. Help has been offered and she refuses it. She knows she needs diet, exercise and counseling to survive.
    It’s time to leave her alone and let her choose. It’s her decision and is nobody else’s business. Why TLC puts this stuff on TV is unbelievable. They’re better things to do in life than to watch this show.

  8. Amy also need to loose weight and they dont take things seriosly always making funny jokes sometimes i wish they can do more than that with life

  9. I read all the updates about these ladies. Love the show, by the way. I do believe that Tammy is seriously trying to due the program and lose her weight. Everyone should remember that she is doing this weight loss on tevelvison. She has no privacy, during this struggle. It’s not easy to lose weight, she didn’t put the weight on overnight. And it’s not coming off easily. Tammy, just trust in the Lord. He has given the doctors, nurses, and councilors the ability to save you. Take it one day at a time. Oh, congratulations to Amy and Michael on their new baby boy!! And Chris you are a wonderful role model for your sisters and fans of the show. I’m looking forward to session 4
