A tragic incident unfolded as a police detective and mother of three passed away merely a week after undergoing a buttock lift and liposuction procedure, as per reports. The devastating news was delivered to her husband in a straightforward phone call.
Alicia Stone, aged 40 and a veteran of the New York Police Department (NYPD), was discovered unresponsive in her hotel room and quickly taken to Fundación Valle del Lili Hospital in Colombia.
Despite being admitted for treatment, Alicia, who had served for 13 years in the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau, was declared deceased within an hour, according to sources.
The cause of her death was listed as “unspecified cardiac arrest.” Michael, her husband, has called for an inquiry into his wife’s sudden passing, expressing doubts about the circumstances.
Prior to her hospitalization, the mother of three had undergone a gluteal fat transfer and liposuction procedure and had been taking anticoagulants and pain medication, as detailed by the New York Daily News.
In a state of distress, Michael recounted the moment he received the call from the doctor in Colombia informing him of his wife’s passing. He emphasized his confusion and pain over the sudden news.
Michael highlighted that his wife had been in good health before the surgery and had felt fine even the day before her unexpected death. He stressed the need for clarity on the events leading to her demise.
A fundraising initiative was initiated to aid Alicia’s family, portraying her as a devoted public servant and a loving mother, as reported by the Express.
The Express quoted the fundraising page, which described Alicia as a person whose kindness and bravery had touched everyone she encountered, both in and out of uniform.
Recent research published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal in 2017 suggested that buttock enhancement procedures could pose significantly higher risks compared to other cosmetic surgeries in the US.
Globally, statistics estimate that one in 3,448 patients faced fatal outcomes following buttock enhancement surgeries, a rate notably higher than the average US death rate from cosmetic procedures, which stands at about one in 55,000.
