HOW FAKE DOCTOR KILLED MAN, 22, BY INJECTING HIS PENIS WITH SILICONE

A fake doctor injected a man’s penis with silicone, killing him. Justin Street visited Kasia Rivera, 34, at her home in New Jersey for the penis enhancement procedure on May 5. But just a day after attending the so-called ‘pumping-party’ the 22-year-old was dead.
Justin suffered a clot to the lungs and died. A medical examiner determined he died of a silicone embolism.
His death was ruled a homicide following an investigation and Rivera has now been charged with manslaughter.
She also faces charges involving the unauthorized practice of medicine. She was arrested Friday and is being held on $75,000 bail.
Silicon injections are increasingly used to enlarge body parts, such as the buttocks.
The only cosmetic use for non-encapsulated medical silicone approved by the FDA is Botox, for use around the eyes.
But black-market illegal use by untrained practitioners continues as a quick-fix budget alternative to cosmetic surgery. Doctors say the slow economy has also fuelled the trade.
While side effects are thought to be relatively rare, in some cases silicone will migrate through the bloodstream, resulting in a potentially fatal clot in the heart or brain or lungs.
The silicone can also migrate through tissue leaving disfiguring lumps.
There is also no guarantee of medical grade silicon at so called ‘pumping parties’ cosmetic events held in homes, offices and even motel rooms.
Industrial-grade silicone purchased hardware stores is sometimes used as are toxic substitutes such as castor oil, mineral oil and petroleum jelly.
