A woman who died this week after going into cardiac arrest at a beauty salon had undergone a cosmetic medical procedure that involved a part of her body being “augmented by injection,” Long Beach police said.
Long Beach police said that on Wednesday at about 12:20 p.m. they were called to Areli’s Beauty Salon in the 2100 block of Pacific Avenue because someone was in cardiac arrest “under suspicious circumstances.”
Authorities allege that 45-year-old Sandra Perez Gonzalez was renting space in the salon under the pretense of giving massages, but instead provided butt and lip augmentation and “vampire face lifts” — a procedure in which a person’s own blood cells are injected into their face — without a license.
Authorities were first told that the woman who died, 36-year-old Hamilet Suarez of Long Beach, had come in for a massage but had medical issues before her session began. Detectives said they later uncovered that Gonzalez had been renting a room not just for massages, but for other purposes as well.
“We can confirm that the female who did pass … did receive a cosmetic medical procedure … in getting a certain part of her body augmented by injection,” police Sgt. Megan Zabel told KTLA-TV.
