The death certificate stated “Illness”, but the father demands a thorough investigation.
What is happening?
A 14-year-old girl named has died, allegedly following an illegal cosmetic surgery procedure, El Universal reports.
The case, reported by her father, has sparked widespread outrage across the Mexican state of Durango.
“My daughter suffered for days”
Carlos Arellano, Paloma’s father, shared his account on social media.
He claims the surgery took place on September 12, and was carried out without Paloma’s approval.
He says the operation was done with the involvement of the girl’s mother.
Death certificate listed “Illness” as cause
According to Arellano, his daughter died on September 20, several days after the procedure.
Her death certificate stated the cause of death as “illness,” which he says was a deliberate attempt to conceal the real circumstances.
Public outcry and legal action
The case has quickly gone viral in Durango, with citizens demanding justice.
A formal complaint has been filed with the Durango prosecutor’s office, as calls grow louder for a full investigation into Paloma’s death.
Father demands accountability
“I demand that all those responsible be investigated: the doctor, the mother, the hospital, its administrators, and those who participated in this cover-up,” Arellano declared online, calling for justice on multiple fronts.
Prosecutor confirms teen died at private clinic
Durango prosecutor Sonia Yadira de la Garza confirmed that Paloma died on September 20 at Santa María Clinic.
Initially, both parents signed the death certificate stating “illness” as the cause, with cerebral edema and hypoxic encephalopathy listed as contributing factors.
Father files complaint after learning the truth
The very next day, Carlos Arellano returned to authorities with a different story.
He had discovered that his daughter had undergone breast surgery, prompting him to file an official complaint and request a legal investigation.
Autopsy underway
Paloma’s body was transferred to the Forensic Medical Service, where examiners found signs of cerebral edema and a lung condition.
However, a complete pathology report is still pending and could take up to 20 days.
Doctor and mother under scrutiny
Authorities are now analyzing medical records and signed consent forms to determine who authorized the procedure.
The mother could face charges for neglect of care, while the surgeon might be prosecuted for negligent homicide.
