A Toronto mother who died after liposuction surgery last year allegedly had 23 incisions made in six different body parts in one session – an "excessive" amount that could have contributed to her death, according to allegations in court documents.
The provincial coroner also raised red flags about the number of incisions and body parts, the documents show. "The patient had liposuction on both legs, buttocks, back, abdomen and chest wall. This seemed to be excessive," says a memo written by college investigator Sandra Keough quoting Dr. James Edwards at the Office of the Chief Coroner. "There was a lot of locations for fat removal and this may play into the cause of death."
