Hank Williams Jr.’s wife Mary Jane Thomas passed away, and the reason why has been made public. According to a report from the Palm Beach County Medical Examiner.
And an autopsy report, which were acquired by PEOPLE, Thomas, 58, passed away on March 22 as a result of a collapsed lung that had been pierced the day before during elective surgery.
Accidental death was given as the reason of death. “Pneumothorax due to perforated parietal pleura during liposuction with autologous fat reinfection treatment,” according to the autopsy report, is the cause of death.
According to Science Direct, the parietal pleura is a membrane that is connected by connective tissue to the inner surface of the chest wall and is crucial for the production and elimination of pleural fluid.
The results of the autopsy reveal that Thomas’ lung collapsed as a result of her surgeon puncturing the membrane during the fat transfer procedure she underwent as part of a breast lift after having her breast implants removed.
The former model, who now resides in Nashville, flew to Jupiter, Florida for liposuction at Bafitis Plastic Surgery as well as to have her old breast implants removed.
According to the Medical Examiner’s findings, she was given the all-clear for the surgeries by a doctor at her house. Williams’ spokesman and a representative for Bafitis Plastic Surgery did not immediately reply to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

According to the Medical Examiner’s report, Mary Jane Thomas’ surgeon stated that her vital signs were normal and that she had been administered the anticoagulant Lovenox.
