My comments below the story:
A woman visiting Philadelphia from Britain died on Monday after she had a procedure to inject silicone into her buttocks, police confirmed to myfoxphilly.com late Tuesday.
The incident reportedly happened at a Hampton Inn near Philadelphia International Airport.
Lt. John Walker at Southwest Detectives in Philadelphia confirmed four British women flew into Philadelphia on Saturday. Two women came to get a butt-enhancement from a party they met online.
The other two women were "along for the ride" and were going to visits friends up in New York.
Two women then showed up to perform the procedure at the Hampton Inn, and one woman did the injections. The woman who died received her buttocks enhancement injection in a 4th floor hotel room on Sunday at 12 p.m.
Roughly 12 hours later, she told her girlfriends of shortness of breath. She was rushed to Mercy-Fitzgerald hospital where some time after arrival she was pronounced dead.
Paramedics say she was awake and coherent on the ride to the hospital.
Detectives have not made a connection between the injection and her death, but, preliminary investigations are leaning toward that being a cause of death.
Toxicology tests from the Delaware County medical examiner won't be back for 6-8 weeks.
Investigators want to know if the woman was a licensed nurse, nurse practitioner, or was she just a layperson with no training or legal standing to do such a procedure.
The FDA is also on the scene, trying to find the woman who injected the two British women.
British embassy officials are also at the hotel.
First off, I feel terrible for this woman. But I have to ask, why would anyone think getting a medical procedure done in a hotel could possibly be safe? When will people learn that saving money on medical procedures usually means BAD THINGS WILL HAPPEN!
