The autopsy results for country music star Hank Wiliams Jr.’s wife, Mary Jane Thomas, were released yesterday. Thomas died from a collapsed lung after elective cosmetic surgery.
Thomas was 58 and had traveled to Florida from Tennessee for liposuction and removal of previous breast implants with a breast lift. The procedures were performed at Bafitis Plastic Surgery in Jupiter, FL.
Thomas passed away on March 22 of this year a day after she was released from the hospital. She was at a resort recovering from the procedures when she became unresponsive. She was transported to Jupiter Medical center and was pronounced dead in the emergency room.
Florida’s Palm Beach County medical examiner determined she had died of a collapsed lung from the surgery, the death was ruled an accident.
Thomas was a former model who married Hank Williams Jr. in 1990 they had met in 1985 at one of his concerts. The pair share a son Samuel Williams and a daughter Kathrine who died in a car accident in 2020.
Samuel gave a statement to “People”, paying tribute to his mother.
“My dear Mama Mary Jane was a beautiful soul who forever affected everyone who knew her. 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. 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. Rest in peace Mama, I will always be the son of Mary Jane.”
Hank Williams Jr. made a statement shortly after the passing of his wife, thanking people for their prayers as well as announcing he wouldn’t be canceling shows.
