The case shocked the tightly knit Brazilian community in Framingham, Mass., when the vibrant 23 year old died in a local hospital after undergoing what was described as back street, basement liposuction. The liposuction was allegedly carried out in the basement of an apartment building, with a massage table being used as an impromptu operating table, and bed linen being used to protect the table from bloodstains. When miss de Paula displayed problems with her breathing and cardiac function during the liposuction procedure, she was allegedly driven to the local Emergency Room where doctors worked for 20 minutes to revive her, without success. Both pleaded not guilty and were ordered held on bail. |
