A tragic incident occurred when a police detective and mother of three passed away just a week after undergoing a buttock lift and liposuction surgery. Reports indicate that Alicia Stone, a 40-year-old New York Police Department (NYPD) veteran, was discovered unresponsive in her hotel room and quickly taken to Fundación Valle del Lili Hospital in Colombia.
Despite being admitted for medical care, Alicia, who had served for 13 years in the NYPD’s Internal Affairs Bureau, was declared deceased within an hour, according to sources. Her death was attributed to “unspecified cardiac arrest.” Her husband, Michael, has called for an inquiry into his wife’s sudden demise, expressing concerns that “something doesn’t add up.”
Just days before her hospitalization, the mother of three had undergone a gluteal fat transfer and liposuction procedure. She had been taking anticoagulants and pain medication, as detailed by the New York Daily News.
Michael recounted receiving a distressing call from the doctor in Colombia informing him of his wife’s passing, expressing shock and sorrow at the sudden news. He emphasized that Alicia had been in good health before the surgery and had felt fine the day prior to her unexpected death, urging for clarity on the circumstances surrounding her demise.
A fundraising initiative has been initiated to assist Alicia’s family, highlighting her as a devoted public servant and loving mother. Described as someone whose compassion and bravery touched many lives, Alicia’s untimely departure has deeply affected her loved ones and colleagues.
Recent research published in the Aesthetic Surgery Journal underscored the higher risks associated with buttock enhancement procedures compared to other cosmetic surgeries in the US. The study revealed a significantly elevated mortality rate globally following such procedures, emphasizing the potential dangers involved.
