NYC woman dies after unlicensed surgeon tried to remove her butt implants Police

A 31-year-old New York City woman has died after an unlicensed surgeon botched a procedure to remove her butt implants, authorities said.

The victim, 31-year-old María Peñaloza from Queens, went into cardiac arrest and was declared brain-dead last month after a man posing as a plastic surgeon attempted to remove the implants, according to court documents.
