An NYPD detective and mother of three named Alicia Stone reportedly passed away after undergoing a BBL procedure in Colombia.
According to the New York Post, Alicia Stone underwent “liposuction and gluteal fat transfer” for a butt lift on Thursday, October 16. After the surgery, she was reportedly transferred to a hotel and instructed to take “anticoagulants and pain medication” for her post-op treatment. During her recovery, around 6:30 a.m. on October 23, Alicia was reportedly discovered unresponsive in her hotel room. Subsequently, she was “rushed to Fundacin Valle del Lili Hospital.”
Per the outlet, about an hour later, Alicia was pronounced dead. Additionally, her cause of death was listed as “unspecified cardiac arrest.”
On Sunday, October 26, the Daily News published a report featuring a statement from Michael Stone, Alicia’s husband. Furthermore, Michael believes “something doesn’t add up.”
The doctor who called me from Colombia just called me and told me my wife had just passed away. She didnt even have any information to tell me when I was asking her. Something just doesnt add up…[I] was told, ‘Im so sorry. Your wife had some medical episode, and they tried to save her.’ And that was it. She said it might have been a heart attack or blood clot [but] she didnt know anything,” he recalled.
Furthermore, Michael noted that Alicia was in good health before the procedure, and he was surprised that she was sent to recover in a hotel room. Specifically, Michael noted that authorities in Colombia are looking into his wife’s death, and the NYPD has also sent investigators.
“I will request an autopsy when she returns. I need to know. I need some independence,” he stated to the outlet.
At this time, a campaign has been launched via Fund the First to “honor Alicias legacy and to provide financial support to her family during this devastating time.” As of Wednesday, October 29, the campaign has raised more than $17,000 of its $50,000 goal.
Alicia Stone, the NYPD detective and mother of three, isn’t the only official to lose her life after undergoing a BBL procedure. As The Shade Room previously reported, in March, Wildelis Rosa, a police officer and U.S. Army reservist, flew to Miami to undergo BBL surgery. After she was discharged, her blood pressure reportedly dropped significantly, and she lost circulation in her feet.
To add, Rosa’s family was unaware of her surgery plans, reportedly believing she had traveled to Miami to celebrate her birthday.
