Autopsy: Vegas cosmetic surgery death accidental Eds: Adds national filing points. Will be updated.
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- An autopsy report has determined that the death
of a Las Vegas woman who died after receiving a buttocks
enhancement injection in a makeshift medical office was accidental.
Clark County Coroner P. Michael Murphy told The Associated Press
Thursday that 42-year-old Elena Caro died from an adverse drug
reaction. He said the autopsy does not preclude criminal charges.
Ruben Matallana-Galvas and Carmen Torres-Sanchez face charges of
murder and practicing medicine without a license in Caro's April
death. Authorities allege the husband and wife were running a
cosmetic surgery business in the back room of a tile store when
they injected Caro's buttocks with a gel substance.
Caro was found roaming the streets in agony hours after the
injection. She was taken to a hospital, where she died.
