"Silicone Party" Injection Causes Death

Man! There are some things people do that are certifiably incomprehensible. Two people became critically ill and one died after being injected at a "transgender silicone party."

From NBCSandiego.com:
Police were notified about a June 21 party on Florida Street after receiving a call from an anonymous person at the San Diego Gay and Lesbian Center, reporting that two transgender females who received injections of silicone were hospitalized and were in critical condition.

Officials said five people at the party paid a woman to inject them with silicone in their lips, hips, cheeks and buttocks in an effort to improve their appearances. Two of the people who were injected became ill and were put on life support after developing breathing problems, according to San Diego police.

One of the party guests told NBC San Diego that the two victims were told they were being injected with silicone. But the only person who knows for sure what was being injected is the person who gave the shots. There have been reports of people being injected with brake fluid diluted to fit through a syringe. Other reports describe the use of silicon-based caulking, which is normally used to seal cracks around plumbing fixtures.
BRAKE FLUID!

CAULKING!


Holy moly! I will never understand what's going on in these people's minds.

Nevertheless, almost three weeks after the silicone party, 45-year-old Patricio Gonzales died. The other injection party-goer remains in critical condition. Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of Sammia "Angelica" Gonzalez, 39, (aka Garcia-Gonzalez) who is believed to be the injector.

Whatever happened to music, food, drinks, and dancing? Sheesh!
