A senior Estée Lauder executive who died in his husband’s arms moments after feeling lightheaded inside their $2.8 million New York City apartment suffered a pulmonary embolism triggered by cosmetic fillers.

Kendal Ascher, 56, “suffered acute respiratory failure due to a pulmonary embolism connected to a foreign material after getting cosmetic filler injections,” the city’s medical examiner said Tuesday.

Ascher’s Feb. 25 death was ruled accidental in the report, which was given to his loved ones over the weekend.

Estée Lauder executive Kendal Ascher died suddenly in husband’s arms in their $2.8M NYC apartment Ascher’s grieving husband, William Howe, told the Daily Mail that he wasn’t aware of his husband, who was vice president of the beauty company, using cosmetic fillers before his death.

Howe, 63, said that he got Botox, which is not a filler, with his husband just five months before he died.

“It’s just profoundly sad,” the widow said, “I witnessed it, it was immediate. The cause was secondary.”

Howe previously told the outlet that his spouse of four months went limp in the early hours as they desperately tried to reach the bedroom of their Chelsea home.

That would be if they were married. Which these two people weren’t. Marriage is between one man and one woman.
