Lynn Ban posted a devastating final post just weeks before passing away after undergoing emergency brain surgery.
The 51-year-old, who was an acclaimed jewelry designer and star of Bling Empire: New York, was found dead on Monday (January 20) at a home in Tribeca.
According to the New York Post, Ban’s husband, Jett Kain, discovered her unresponsive in bed around 1:30PM. An NYPD spokesperson confirmed that the reality TV star woman was pronounced dead at the scene near Warren Street and West Street.
Officials have disclosed that they don't consider her death suspicious at this time.
The star's son took to Instagram on Wednesday (January 22) to share the tragic news, revealing that his beloved mom passed after undergoing emergency brain surgery.
"My mum passed away on Monday,” Sebastian wrote. “I know she wanted to share her journey after her accident and brain surgery, so I thought she would appreciate one last post sharing the news to people who supported her.”
Sebastian referred to Lynn as “the best mother" and "someone who cared for all,” adding: “Many of you followed my mum but never got the chance to know her or meet her in person. I would like to take the chance to share who my mum really was.
“She always had a smile on her face even when times were tough during her recovery process. She was a fighter until the end and is the strongest woman I know," he said. "She was the funniest and coolest mum I could ever ask for. She took care of me, my dad, and our Entire family throughout her whole life."
The bereaved son shared that he will “make sure” his mother “is never forgotten” following her sudden death and concluded his emotional post with a final message to his late mom, writing: "I would just like to say that I will miss you forever and to end [with] something she always told me ‘I love you more than life itself’ mum."
Last month, Lynn Ban shared a poignant final Instagram post recounting her terrifying experience following a skiing accident in Aspen on Christmas Eve.
“At the top of the mountain, I caught a tip and face planted. Luckily I always wear a helmet, It didn’t seem that bad at the time and I was able to ski to the bottom," she wrote.
The Netflix star revealed that she decided to err on the side of caution and got “checked out by ski patrol for a concussion,” but they cleared her of any medical issues.
However, after developing a headache soon after, she was rushed to a local hospital, where she was diagnosed with a brain bleed and immediately airlifted to a trauma center.
“Last thing I remember was being intubated and waking up after an emergency craniotomy with Jett by my side,” she added. "There’s a long road of recovery ahead but I’m a survivor and grateful to ski patrol, the incredible team of doctors and nurses, and the [love] and support my family and friends."
Tragically, just one month later, Ban lost her life.
Our thoughts are with her loved ones at this time.
