-> Tragic Leeds mum-of-three paid £5,000 for Brazilian butt lift in TurkeyAt 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."

The three day inquest will begin at 10am on Wednesday, November 20 at Wakefield Coroner's Court
