A WOMAN who calls herself the "Black Madam" could face charges in the death of a London tourist who received illegal buttocks-enhancement injections last year in a Philadelphia hotel, police said on Thursday.
Padge Victoria Windslowe, 42, was arrested on Wednesday night as she prepared to host a "pumping party" where she was to illegally inject clients, according to police. She faces charges, including aggravated assault and deceptive practices, after one of her clients, an exotic dancer, suffered serious lung problems after an injection, Philadelphia police Lieutenant. John Walker said. Windslowe was arraigned on Thursday and was being held on US$10 million bail, prosecutors said.
Windslowe is a "person of interest" in the death of the 20-year-old London woman who last year received injections at a hotel near Philadelphia International Airport, Walker said.
He said she will likely be charged with murder in that case if the medical examiner rules Windslowe's injection caused the death of Claudia Aderotimi, who complained of chest pain and difficulty breathing following the procedure. No charges have been filed.
"We knew she was the injector back in the 2011 (Aderotimi) case," Walker said, adding that the investigation has lingered as police awaited a ruling on the cause of Aderotimi's death.
In recent years, cases of illegal cosmetic injections causing death, disfigurement and health problems have been reported from New York City to Los Angeles and beyond.
Solange Magnano, a 38-year-old model and former Miss Argentina, died in Buenos Aires in 2009 from complications after having cosmetic injections on her buttocks.
