Beauty queen dies in Ecuador after liposuction she received as a
Online Edition
A 19-year-old medical student has died while undergoing liposuction - a prize for winning her local beauty competition, Daily Mail reported.
Catherine Cando, a part-time glamour model, was crowned winner of the Queen of Duran beauty contest, in Ecuador.
Miss Cando, who won the competition in October last year, was showered with prizes, including a new Aveo car 2015, a smart tablet - and a free course of cosmetic surgery treatment, the report said.
Miss Canto put off the treatment as she felt she didn't need it - despite judges in the competition recommending she lose a bit of weight, according to the report.
She told local media she had decided to exercise to lose the supposed excess weight instead.
But it seems others were keen for her to undergo the surgery.
Her brother Daniel Zavala, 24, told local media: "Before having the surgery, she received a lot of calls from the surgeon trying to persuade her to do it, but she kept saying no."
"She was thinking about letting someone else have it as a freebie but eventually she agreed to have it."
According to Ecuadorian newspaper El Telegrafo, she eventually underwent the procedure at a private clinic on January 10 - with tragic consequences.
