A woman from the UK has passed away after getting a beauty procedure done in Majorca island.
The woman, whose name is not known, had a medical procedure done at a private hospital in Palma in the middle of September. The surgery was performed by a doctor who worked in the main city and had also been to different countries in Europe.
During the operation, some problems happened and she was quickly taken to the Son Espases University Hospital in Palma. Unfortunately, she passed away a few hours later.
We are not sure about the specific kind of cosmetic surgery that the woman had.
A court on the island is now looking into how she died, and the family went to Majorca to manage her body.
Investigators will now find out if her death happened because of medical mistakes.
But the Majorcan newspaper Ultima Hora described the surgeon as someone who has worked in Palma and other European countries for many years.
The police or court officials have not said anything official about the death yet.

We don’t know if the family told the island authorities about their complaint or if an investigation started even without telling them.
This has happened before when a British woman died in Turkey from cosmetic surgery.
Melissa Kerr, a 31-year-old woman from Denton in Norfolk, passed away after a cosmetic procedure known as a ‘Brazilian butt lift’ went wrong. During the procedure, which took place in Istanbul on November 19, 2019, fatty material entered Melissa’s veins and caused her death. The procedure cost £3,200.
She went to the Medicana Haznedar hospital for the procedure.
Jacqueline Lake, the main coroner for Norfolk, mentioned during the investigation that she will contact the health secretary to express her worries about individuals going abroad for cosmetic procedures.
She said: ‘Ms Kerr did not see a surgeon or doctor before the procedure and only had a brief evaluation beforehand. A message has been sent to surgeons all over the world warning them about a high number of deaths related to this operation. In simple words, the UK has decided to temporarily stop allowing this procedure, and it is not compulsory.
She said: ‘People in Turkey are not following these clearly. ‘ I am worried that patients are not being told about the dangers or the chance of dying from this surgery. I am worried that more people might die in the future, but I believe that we can prevent those deaths by providing better information.
