Lloyd Klein, the former fiancé of Jocelyn Wildenstein, stated that the fashion icon's death on New Year's Eve was caused by a chronic medical condition called phlebitis.
Jocelyn Wildenstein 's former fiancé has revealed details about her cause of death in a recent interview. The fashion designer Lloyd Klein , who was with her in her final moments, attributed her death at 84 on New Year's Eve to a chronic medical condition. Klein, 57, claimed that Wildenstein's battle with phlebitis played a role in her death while speaking to People this week.
'Because of her phlebitis, the legs were very, very swollen, and the blood was blocked, and there was no oxygen in the brain,' Klein told the publication. Phlebitis is a condition in which blood vessels become inflamed, according to WebMD. The condition can sometimes lead to potentially deadly blood clots. It was reported by AFP that Wildenstein had died of a pulmonary embolism, which is when a blood clot blocks blood flow to the lungs. The deadly condition is often caused by blood clots in the legs that travel to the lungs, according to the Mayo Clinic. Klein added that Wildenstein's grandmother had also suffered from phlebitis, but the condition didn't negatively affect their holiday celebrations, and he said she was otherwise in 'impeccable health.' Wildenstein, who was dubbed the 'Catwoman' due to her appearance-altering cosmetic surgeries over the years, died 'peacefully' in her sleep, her longtime partner added. 'We had a nice happy hour the same night and we were getting ready for the new year, and we took a little nap just to look good before getting dressed,' Klein recalled
