A 40-year-old mother of three, described as “loving,” tragically passed away following a Brazilian butt lift surgery in Colombia. Alicia Stone, a dedicated mom, was discovered unresponsive in her hotel room around 6:30 am local time and was quickly taken to Fundación Valle del Lili Hospital, where she was pronounced dead an hour later by the New York Police Department detective.
Sources later revealed that Stone’s cause of death was attributed to an “unspecified cardiac arrest,” occurring shortly after she underwent a liposuction and gluteal fat transfer procedure just seven days before her untimely demise. She had been on pain medication and anticoagulants post-surgery and was staying at a hotel for recovery. Her husband, Michael Stone, expressed his intention to seek an autopsy and investigate the circumstances surrounding his wife’s death.
Michael disclosed that he received a call from the doctor in Colombia informing him of Alicia’s passing without providing many details, leaving him puzzled and seeking clarity on the events leading to her death. He emphasized that Alicia seemed in good health before the procedure and had even reassured her family the day before that she was feeling fine. A fundraiser set up for Stone’s family highlighted her as a devoted mother and public servant who dedicated her career to safeguarding and assisting others.
The Cleveland Clinic in the United States noted that thousands undergo Brazilian butt lifts annually, a procedure involving the removal of excess fat and the injection of purified fat into the buttocks through incisions. However, the clinic emphasized the potential risks associated with the surgery, including complications that can arise post-operation.
