    Kind of weird that the surgeons are implicated to have caused it in the headline, when he died of a heart problem unrelated to the cosmetic surgery.

    You’d think the drugs and medications he was taking would be more at fault in that case.

      The surgery was not found to be the cause of death. It’s just included in the headline this way for clicks.

      So the article said he received injections. Which very easily could be the direct cause of the heart attack. Why would you assume the was no connection?? I mean, one was charged with practicing medicine without a license.

      Doesn’t sound odd at all.

        did you not read the article?

        The lead surgeon, identified only as “Guy H.”, was initially investigated on suspicion of manslaughter. However, prosecutors later downgraded the charges to failure to assist a person in danger, drug-related offences, and practising medicine without a licence.

        Investigators determined that the injection itself was not responsible for Laniado’s death.

        A judicial source told Le Parisien that the procedure was “quickly ruled out” as the cause.

        That’s what the article reports. An investigation was conducted into the death, and concluded that the injections were not related. The only issue with the cosmetic surgeons was that their licence wasn’t applicable in France, or other regulatory faults.

        The victim taking numerous erectile dysfunction and penile enlargement medications were suggested to have been the driver for the heart problems that killed him.
