"A jury found 53-year-old Vivian Alexandra Gomez guilty of felony involuntary manslaughter, inflicting great bodily injury, and practicing medicine without a license."
"Gomez administered non-FDA-approved silicone injections to Gourkani's hindquarters as part of an ongoing gambit to look more like Kim Kardashian."
"The FDA warns that silicone, when injected into the bloodstream, can cause stroke or death."
"Gourkani, who went by Ashten G and whom fans called 'Kim's Twin,' had invested at least $30,000 into surgeries to look more like her idol."
Vivian Alexandra Gomez, a Florida cosmetologist, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in San Mateo County for administering illegal silicone butt injections to model Christina Gourkani. The jury found her guilty after a 15-day trial. Gomez injected non-FDA-approved silicone into Gourkani's body, which resulted in cardiac arrest shortly after. Gourkani, who aimed to resemble Kim Kardashian, had previously undergone multiple surgeries. Gomez faces sentencing on May 5 and could receive up to seven years in prison.
