Miss Argentina Dies During Tush Tuck

(Buenos Aires, Argentina) Here's some sad news from the Southern Hemisphere.

Beauty queen and Miss Argentina 1994, Solange Magnano, died on Sunday as a result of complications from elective gluteoplasty, commonly known as a "butt lift."

Although authorities are still investigating the cause of death, Solange's friend Roberto Piazza said that liquid injected for Thursday's surgery "went to her lungs and brain," causing respiratory failure.

She was transferred from the clinic to the hospital, where she remained in critical care until suffering a fatal pulmonary embolism.

Dr. Gonzalo Cortes y Tristan said Magnano arrived at the hospital having difficulty breathing and her condition deteriorated for three days before she died. She was 38 and leaves behind twin daughters. Her burial was televised Monday throughout Argentina.

Typically, gluteoplasties are considered low risk but, as with any invasive surgery on the human body, things can go wrong.

Rest in peace.
