What is Lynn Ban from 'Bling Empire's' cause of death?
Lynn passed away on Jan. 20, 2025, after undergoing brain surgery following a skiing accident in Aspen, Colorado. She was 51 years old. On Dec. 30, 2024, Lynn shared photos on Instagram from her Aspen vacation with her family, revealing that she had suffered a skiing accident on Christmas Eve.
Lynn explained that she "caught a tip and face-planted," and while she didn’t think it was serious at first, a headache prompted her to seek medical attention. She took a taxi to the hospital, where a CT scan revealed a brain bleed, requiring an emergency craniotomy.
Although Lynn knew the road to recovery would be long, she likely never anticipated things taking such a heartbreaking turn. Her son, Sebastian, shared the devastating news of her passing on Jan. 22, 2025, with a heartfelt message on Instagram.
