Hank Williams Jr.’s wife, Mary Jane Thomas, has died after undergoing elective cosmetic surgery, reports from the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner reveal.
Thomas, 58, traveled from Tennessee to Florida for liposuction and an old breast implant removal procedure along with a breast lift at Bafitis Plastic Surgery, located in Jupiter, according to investigators in documents obtained by USA TODAY.
The singer’s wife was discharged from hospital on March 21 and was taken to a resort to recover. On March 22, she suddenly became unresponsive, according to the report. Thomas was taken to Jupiter Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead in the emergency room.
The autopsy determined that she had died of a collapsed lung suffered during the operation. His death was ruled accidental.

Tragedy has already struck the Williams family. In June 2020, the couple’s daughter, Katherine Williams, 27, died in a car accident in Henry County, Tennessee. Katherine was driving an SUV that was towing a boat when it crossed the median and overturned.
Williams Jr. and Thomas also share a son, Samuel Williams. Williams Jr. has three children from previous marriages: Hank Williams III, Holly Williams and Hilary Williams.
In March, Samuel Williams paid tribute to his mom in a statement to People.
“My dear Mama Mary Jane was a beautiful soul who forever marked all who knew her. She had a smile and a presence that lit up every room and she never met a stranger she hadn’t bonded with. of friendship. Her spirit was gentle and generous. She could earn ten points and cook dinner for her grandchildren at the same time! Now she can beam from above with my sister Katherine Diana right by her side.” he shared.
Hank Williams Jr., 73, is the son of country music legend Hank Williams. The “Family Tradition” singer married Thomas in 1990.
