Or simply:

Sebastian, the son, revealed on his mother’s Instagram that she died this week due to complications from a skiing accident and subsequent emergency brain surgery in December.

On this past Monday, I sadly lost my mom. Given that she’s always been an open book about her life, especially after her accident and subsequent brain surgery, I believe she’d want me to share this final update with those who have stood by her throughout her journey.

He went on saying, ‘She was the most hilarious and amazing mom anyone could wish for,’ accompanied by an old photo of them. ‘She tirelessly looked after my dad, me, and our entire family for her entire life… In closing, to my beloved mother, I want to express that I will miss you always, and as she used to say, ‘I love you more than life itself’.’

On December 30th, I shared that I took a tumble while skiing in Aspen on Christmas Eve. At the mountain peak, I lost my balance and ended up flat on my face. Fortunately, I’m always helmet-clad, so it didn’t seem too severe at the moment, and I managed to ski down to the bottom.

Choosing a more cautious approach, she shared that she sought examination from ski patrol due to suspicion of a concussion and was given the all-clear. However, later on, she underwent a CAT scan at the hospital where she was informed about a brain hemorrhage. “I rode in a taxi with Jett, and within half an hour they told us I had a brain bleed and required immediate airlifting to the trauma hospital,” she recounted. “The last thing I can recall is being intubated, waking up after an emergency craniotomy with Jett by my bedside.

The Barbadian singer responded to Sebastian’s post by saying: “2025 is overwhelming me now! This is too much!!! Lynn, you will forever be our guardian angel! I’ll love you eternally and always! I can hardly believe I’m writing this in a comment section right now,” accompanied by a crying emoji, “Thank you for all the happiness you brought us!
