Anthony Lee, Husband Of Jin Yinji, Dies At 83

Anthony Lee, the husband of 75-year-old veteran Singapore actress Jin Yinji, has passed on at the age of 83.

He had reportedly suffered a heart attack alone in his hospital ward after a check-up showed that there was nothing of concern.

The actress and their family were not able to get there in time before his sudden departure. This turn of events left Jin Yinji devastated and inconsolable as their children planned the funeral.

Having been married since 1972, Jin and Li celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary just last year.

The Chinese-language daily called the actress upon learning of the news, and her cries were audible before she even said anything on the call.

Jin was reportedly devastated and inconsolable as Zaobao’s reporter offered their condolences.

The 75-year-old then managed to compose herself and said that her husband was at the hospital for a check-up before his passing.

He was experiencing a loss of appetite, but results apparently showed that nothing was amiss.
