Veteran Singaporean actor and radio DJ Marcus Chin suffered a heart attack on Monday morning (Oct 7) and is now recovering after a coronary stenting procedure.
The 71-year-old had been filming a short video with fellow actor Mark Lee at Mediacorp Campus at around 10.45am when he took a short break after feeling unwell. Shortly after resuming filming, he began to experience chest pains and had difficulty breathing.
He was immediately rushed by ambulance to the National University Hospitalx1 gaming, where it was determined he had coronary artery disease caused by blocked arteries. He underwent the medical procedure at 1pm, which was successfully completed an hour later.
