Show Notes
53-year-old Florida woman convicted for fatal butt injections: Vivian Alexandra Gomez, a Florida resident, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter after administering illegal butt injections to a 34-year-old aspiring model, Christina Gourkani, who later died from complications. Gomez also faces charges for practicing medicine without a license and causing serious injury. The case unfolded in San Mateo County Superior Court, where the jury reached a verdict in just three hours after a fifteen-day trial. Gomez administered the unapproved injections containing a silicone-like substance, leading to Gourkanis critical illness and subsequent death. Prosecutors emphasized the dangers of these procedures, which the FDA has never approved. Gomez, who ran an unlicensed cosmetology business from her home in Florida, returned to Florida after the procedure but was later arrested and extradited back to California. She awaits sentencing on May fifth, where she could receive up to seven years in prison.
