Hank Williams Jr.‘s wife passed away back in March. Now, the cause of death has been revealed for Mary Jane Thomas. She was only 58 years old. Her cause of death was due to a “collapsed lung that was punctured during elective surgery.” The surgery was performed a day before her death on March 22.

Mary Jane was then rushed to the emergency room and sadly passed away there. Her death is listed as “accidental” because the surgeon reportedly “punctured the membrane close to her chest wall following her breast lift procedure.” She also suffered from “mild brain swelling in addition to mild coronary artery disease and fatty metamorphosis of the liver, a common finding for people with a history of alcoholism.”
