Hank Williams Jr.’s wife, Mary Jane Thomas, died after undergoing an elective cosmetic surgery, reports from Florida’s Palm Beach County medical examiner reveal. Thomas, 58, traveled from Tennessee to Florida for liposuction and a procedure to remove previous breast implants with a breast lift at Bafitis Plastic Surgery, located in Jupiter, investigators say in the documents obtained by USA TODAY. The singer’s wife was released from the hospital March 21 and was transported to a resort for recovery. On March 22, she suddenly became unresponsive, the report says. Thomas was taken to Jupiter Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead in the emergency room. The autopsy determined she died of a collapsed lung sustained during the surgery. Her death was ruled an accident.
