An autopsy on this stunning influencer who ended up in ICU and later died after liposuction surgery has shown she died after her intestine was perforated during the botched procedure.

Liliane Amorim, who had 274,000 followers on Instagram, underwent liposuction in the Brazilian municipality of Juazeiro do Norte on 9th January.

She was admitted to intensive care on 15th January after experiencing severe abdominal pain and difficulty eating.

Despite undergoing two operations in hospital to save her, she passed away on 24th January.

The recently concluded autopsy revealed that the 26-year-old died from an infection caused by three perforations to her intestine during the cosmetic procedure, which caused her peritoneum to fill with intestinal secretions.

The doctor who carried out the procedure, Benjamim Alencar, has so far refused to comment on the latest findings and will be heard in court later this week, according to lawyer Debora Araujo Alencar who is representing Liliane’s family.

The victim’s relatives announced their intention to file for reparations for moral damages and request compensation.

Dr Alencar, who is a member of the Brazilian Society for Plastic Surgery, was reported to the police on the day of Liliane’s death by her ex-husband who accused him of negligence.

The surgeon denies the charge and claims he followed correct medical procedures at all times.
