María Paz Peñaloza, 31, tragically lost her life following a botched butt implant removal procedure performed by a fraudulent doctor in Queens. Initially left brain dead, she was taken off life support weeks after collapsing during the illegal surgery. The perpetrator, Felipe Hoyos-Foronda, used lidocaine improperly, leading to her cardiac arrest. After a friend discovered what happened, police apprehended him at JFK Airport as he attempted to flee to Colombia. He faces serious charges including second-degree assault and unauthorized medical practice.
We never imagined this would happen,
A friend who went with María called and said she was taken away in an ambulance but she didn't know how bad it was.
Prosecutors from the Queens District Attorney's Office believe Peñaloza died from lidocaine toxicity.
He was arrested and charged with second-degree assault, a felony, as well as unauthorized practice of a profession.
