A 31-year-old woman died at the end of March after a man posing as a surgeon tried to remove the silicone implants she had in her buttocks in New York, United States.
María Peñaloza suffered a cardiopulmonary arrest and was declared brain dead, according to court documents cited by ABC News.
The incident occurred on March 28, with Felipe Hoyos-Foronda carrying out the operation "without a license to do so and while not in a health care facility," according to the complaint filed by the Queens District Attorney's Office.
The Public Prosecutor's Office pointed out that the 38-year-old man had administered lidocaine, a local anesthetic, to the woman, using a syringe, which caused "cardiac arrest".
The victim was transported to Astoria General Hospital, where he was intubated "without any brain activity."
The man, in turn, was arrested and charged with second-degree assault and unauthorized practice of a profession.
Authorities continue to investigate.
