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.
