Episode Details

A rogue unlicensed surgeon, Felipe Hoyos Foronda, got five to fifteen years for killing a 31-year-old mother during a botched buttock implant removal — he injected her with a lethal dose of lidocaine. The gruesome procedure took place in his Astoria apartment, where investigators found a full surgical setup. Maria Penaloza died from cardiac arrest and brain death; emergency crews found her unresponsive. Hoyos, who tried to flee the country by flying out of JFK that same day, admitted to performing cosmetic surgery without any medical license. Prosecutors called it a senseless tragedy, while her family seeks closure through justice.
