Inquest into death of Leeds mum following Brazillian bum lift to start today
The inquest into the death of a Leeds mum who died after travelling to Turkey for a 'Brazilian bum lift' will start today (Wednesday).
Beautician Leah Cambridge, 29, died after undergoing a 'butt lift' in Turkey at a clinic that was featured on TV programme 'Sex Knives and Liposuction'.
At the pre-inquest in March, Wakefield Coroner's Court heard from assistant Coroner James Hargan, who said a provisional post-mortem examination revealed that Ms Cambridge died from a fat embolism.
Mr Hargan said: "Ms Cambridge was a 29-year-old lady who lived with her partner in this country.
"Arrangements were made for her to have cosmetic surgery at a private hospital in Izmir, Turkey.
"The procedure took place on the morning of 27 August 2018.
"At round about half-past one in the afternoon of that day, the deceased's mother was informed by hospital staff that there had been complications during the surgery and, sadly, Ms Cambridge had died."
A review into the safety of the procedures has been ordered by the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons
The three day inquest will begin at 10am on Wednesday, November 20, at Wakefield Coroner's Court.
