Singer dies during surgery

A 24-Year-Old female singer died early last week while undergoing plastic surgery in central China's Hubei Province. News of her death drew extensive attention from Internet users.

Wang Bei, a former contestant in the talent show Super Girl, died on November 15 in an anesthetic accident during plastic surgery, said a spokesman for the health bureau of Jiang'an District, Wuhan City, capital of Hubei.

Before the announcement, stories about Wang's death had spread on the Internet. Many of Wang's fans said the news was just a malicious rumor while some said Wang had spread the news herself to generate publicity.

Wang's mother, who underwent the same surgery to narrow her lower jawbone, is currently recovering in Zhong'ao Cosmetic Surgery Hospital.

Zhong'ao Cosmetic Surgery Hospital is a legal medical facility administered by the health bureau of Jiang'an District, the spokesman, who declined to give his name, said.

Wang's death has triggered concerns about the safety of the surgery in China. "I wonder who would dare to get plastic surgery after hearing about this tragedy," Internet user Ye Xiaolun said.

As demand for plastic surgery surges, some doctors not trained in the field are carrying it out, said Zhang Huabin, a 掳?professor of plastic surgery at Guangdong Medical College.
