Catwoman icon, Jocelyn Wildenstein, has passed away at the age of 84, following a battle with chronic illness. The influential figure died on December 31, and her partner Lloyd Klein has disclosed that her long-standing struggle with a chronic illness contributed to her demise. Lloyd shared with People magazine that Jocelyn had been silently battling phlebitis, a condition that affects the veins, leading to symptoms such as swelling and pain when clots form. Tragically, Jocelyn passed away peacefully in her sleep on that fateful night.
Lloyd recounted their final moments together, saying, “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. Because of her phlebitis, the legs were very, very swollen, and the blood was blocked, and there was no oxygen in the brain.” He added, “And we were having a nap and when I woke up, I said, ‘Jocelyn, we have to wake up, we have to get dressed,’ and she was cold and she was dead. It’s very sad. It’s extremely sad.”
Despite her battle with phlebitis, Lloyd mentioned that she appeared to be in “perfect” health just days before her passing. The couple had been enjoying a romantic getaway in Paris when the tragedy occurred.
