A tragic incident unfolded as a police detective and mother of three passed away just seven days after undergoing a buttock lift and liposuction procedure. Alicia Stone, aged 40, a dedicated member of the New York Police Department (NYPD), was discovered unresponsive in her hotel room and swiftly taken to Fundación Valle del Lili Hospital in Colombia.
Despite being admitted for medical care, Alicia, a seasoned 13-year veteran of the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau, was declared deceased within an hour, as per sources. Her cause of death was noted as “unspecified cardiac arrest.” Her husband, Michael, has urged for an inquiry into his wife’s sudden demise, citing discrepancies in the events leading up to her passing.
Prior to her hospitalization, the mother of three had undergone a gluteal fat transfer and liposuction, coupled with anticoagulants and pain medications, as detailed by the New York Daily News. Michael shared his distress at receiving a call from the doctor in Colombia informing him of his wife’s sudden death, expressing disbelief and seeking clarity on the circumstances surrounding her tragic end.
Michael emphasized that Alicia had been in good health before the surgery and had felt fine the day before her unexpected death. Desiring a comprehensive understanding of the situation, he highlighted the need for factual information to shed light on the events leading to his wife’s untimely demise.
A fundraising initiative was initiated to provide support to Alicia’s family, describing her as a caring mother of three and a committed public servant who dedicated her career to the protection and service of others, as reported by the Express. The campaign emphasized Alicia’s impact through her kindness, bravery, and compassion, underscoring the profound loss felt by her family, friends, and colleagues.
Recent research highlighted in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal revealed the heightened risks associated with buttock enhancement procedures, indicating a significantly higher fatality rate compared to other cosmetic surgeries in the United States. Globally, statistics suggest a substantially increased mortality rate post buttock enhancement procedures, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness and caution surrounding such operations.
