Jocelyn Wildenstein's longtime partner reveals details of her final hours

Swiss socialite Jocelyn Wildenstein, known for her extensive and extreme plastic surgeries, reportedly died in her sleep.

Her longtime partner Lloyd Klein shared the intimate details of her death in an exchange with the press following her death on New Year's Eve.

"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," he told People Magazine.

Klein also revealed that Wildenstein was also dealing with phlebitis, a condition that Healthline describes as inflammation of a vein that may be caused by damage to the vein wall or by a blood clot that blocks a vein.

"Because of her phlebitis, the legs were very, very swollen, and the blood was blocked, and there was no oxygen in the brain," he told the publication. "And we were having a nap and when I wake 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," he noted. "It's extremely sad to lay down with your other half that I know for 21 years and waiting to celebrate New Year's Eve and to find her cold."

Klein added the slain socialite's grandmother also suffered from a similar condition, noting that it did not seem to impact his holiday festivities with Wildenstein prior to her sudden passing.

"We were at the Ritz two days ago. We were having dinner," explains Klein. "Before that, we had come for Fashion Week at Chanel. Everything was good, everything was good."

"We were at the Ritz. We were having parties. She was in great shape. She was in impeccable health," says Klein.

He also added that during their time in Paris, she was "very happy" and "at the top of her game" as she had also made few television appearances.

"Two months ago, she attended the Chanel show. Everyone invited us to dinner. Everyone welcomed her with red carpet. Paparazzi were following us. It was the return to Paris. We were at the top of our game. Everything was at the top," he reflects.
