Josh Goldstein, a contestant on Love Island, left the show during the third season after the sudden death of his older sister, Lindsey Goldstein. Lindsey was 27 years old, worked for the Massachusetts Department of Children and Families as an investigator in cases involving child abuse and neglect, and held a Master’s Degree in Criminology. The cause of her death has not been publicly revealed. Josh described Lindsey as an “incredible person” and credited her for encouraging him to apply for the show and for playing an important role in his life, including helping him meet his Love Island partner, Shannon St. Clair. Josh and Shannon left the villa to be with family and mourn Lindsey’s passing. Josh shared that Lindsey was the reason he was on the show and that it brought her joy to watch his relationship with Shannon grow. The couple had been together since day one of the show but later split about a year after leaving the villa.
