The ex-wife of a celebrity dentist, who was shot dead by police after terrorising two women at a Potts Point apartment block, has shared details of a new heartbreaking family loss in a social media post.<\/p>\n
Steven Lin, 41, was killed after he allegedly attacked two women, Chloe Paul and Christine Campeau, inside their St Neot Ave homes armed with a knife on March 3 this year.<\/p>\n
Police tasered Lin, but he could not be restrained and was shot dead by an officer.<\/p>\n
Taking to social media, Mr Lin\u2019s estranged ex Cassandra shared with \u201cprofound and unimaginable heartbreak\u201d that her brother Christopher had died following complications during ENT surgery last Thursday.<\/p>\n
Ms Lin wrote on social media that Christopher was her sibling soulmate, protector, and the person she loved most in the world.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs children we were close, but our bond only grew stronger as adults, as family was everything to him. We became each other\u2019s constant. I was the centre of his world, and he was the centre of mine,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe loss of him is impossible to put into words. I don\u2019t know how to imagine this life without his laughter, his guidance, his unwavering love, and the comfort of knowing he was always there.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd even though I feel broken, and there are no words to describe the immense pain I am feeling, I am endlessly grateful for every moment we shared and for the privilege of being loved by him. <\/p>\n
\u201cHe was truly one of a kind, with the largest heart, and the space he leaves behind can never be filled.\u201d<\/p>\n
After her husband was killed, Ms Lin revealed the horrifying reasons why their marriage ended in an open letter.<\/p>\n
She wrote her world came crashing down when she discovered her husbands secret life, affairs, abuse and a child he fathered that she knew nothing about.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt shattered the trust I had placed in you and the future I thought we were building together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe pain of that betrayal is something I\u2019m still learning how to carry.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn yet standing here today, I\u2019m reminded that people are never just the worst they have done, nor only the best.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou were complicated. You were flawed. You made choices that hurt me deeply and changed our lives forever.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had to stand back and let you fight your secret war. A war which you lost in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lin was the former chief executive officer of Helix Dentistry Group and was facing several criminal charges before he died.<\/p>\n
He appeared in the Wollongong Local District Court in the days leading up to his death over allegations he choked and assaulted a sex worker and stole $2000 from her in 2025.<\/p>\n
The Daily Telegraph reported the charges were dismissed when the sex worker failed to appear in court.<\/p>\n
Lin also had records for bail breaches, assaults, choking offences, apprehended violence order breaches and stalking\/intimidation offences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The ex-wife of a celebrity dentist, who was shot dead by police after terrorising two women at a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":755228,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[64,63,44,187436],"class_list":["post-755227","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-australia","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-news","tag-newswire-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=755227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/755228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=755227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=755227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=755227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
