A surgeon is currently on the run after a model died on his operating table while undergoing liposuction
The model identified as Melanie Montenegro died from a massive heart
attack while in the care of
plastic surgeon Dr Felipe Leyton.
The 22-year-old model had travelled to the city of Guayaquil, in the
south-western Ecuadorian province of Guayas to have the procedure.
The next day, according to police, she suffered a massive heart
attack while undergoing surgery, and died, and the surgeon has now
vanished.
According to Daily Mirror, Edwin Montenegro, her father, they were
informed that his daughter was dead via a telephone call from the owner
of the clinic.
He said that his medical team had not been informed that she was allergic to one of the medicines used during surgery.
The dad, who said he had not realised his daughter was going to undergo
the surgery, claimed that she had been misled by TV adverts offering
low-cost surgery.
The prosecutor investigating the case, Fredy Toala, has already
ordered a search of the surgery and home where the medic was supposedly
living, but said it was empty.
Melanie Montenegro was the mother of a three-year-old girl and was a
minor celebrity by working in a soap opera broadcast on YouTube.
