‘Amazing’ mum, 26, died in taxi to hospital days after butt lift surgery
A devastated family are desperate to know what killed an “amazing” mother-of-three after she died days after having butt lift surgery.
An “amazing” British mum died in a taxi just days after undergoing a dangerous Brazilian butt lift in Turkey.
Demi Agoglia was only 26 when she died of unknown causes in January, leaving behind her three young sons.
An investigation into exactly what happened to the mum has been delayed, leaving Demi’s family still begging for answers, The Sun reports.
Family members said she returned to the clinic following the procedure in Istanbul for a check-up but then fell ill.
She had a heart attack while in a taxi on her way to the hospital as her partner, Bradley Jones, gave her CPR in a desperate bid to save her life, according to the Independent.
Doctors were unable to save her on arrival and she was pronounced dead on January 8.
Her brother Carl, 37, said Demi’s family and partner had tried to convince her not to go through with the bum lift as they were concerned for her safety.
“It is tragic what happened. We are just in shock. She went to Istanbul to have it done. She had previously gone to have her teeth done. No one wanted her to go out and have it done but she is one of those people,” he previously told The Sun.
Her sister Georgina told the Manchester Evening News (MEN) Demi was “an amazing mum to her boys”.
In an emotional tribute video on TikTok showing her loved one she wrote: “I miss you so much, Demi. Nothing feels real anymore. How can you be gone?”
“Just wanna hear you shout alright kid nothing will ever be the same without you I love you Demi.”
During a hearing at Bolton Coroner’s Court on July 17, coroner John Pollard told of “missing information” that he said he would need to “get the bottom” of what happened to Demi, according to MEN.
Mr Pollard said that his main concern was determining how Demi came by her death and said there was “no direct evidence” of what medical procedure took place and why it took so long.
“When something like this happens abroad it is a hundred times more difficult to deal with than if it happened in this country,” he told the court.
“I haven’t got the information I need, that’s bluntly the situation.”
Mr Pollard said he had contacted the foreign office to request further information.
He said he was also planning to write to Istanbul Hospital directly, adding that he would like statements from the surgeon, nurses and paramedics involved in Demi’s care.
Chrissie Wolfe, the lawyer representing Demi’s family, had so far been unable to get the necessary information for the court hearing from Turkey.
But she had been in touch with a Turkish lawyer to help with obtaining statements and Demi’s medical records.
The pre-inquest review heard that pathologist Dr Usha Chandran could not ascertain Demi’s cause of death in her post-mortem examination.
‘Risk of dying 10 times higher’
The mortality rate for BBLs is estimated to be one in every 3000, according to the Australasian Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS).
In the past few years at least 28 Brits have died — seven in Turkey — after complications from BBL ops.
It’s not clear if any Australians have ever died from the procedure.
The controversial butt lift involves taking fat from the waist or stomach and inserting it in the buttocks.
It typically takes between one and two hours and involves a tiny cannula being inserted into a 2mm hole to extract fat.
The fat is then purified and reinjected into the buttocks.
The NHS said the risk of dying from a BBL is at least ten times higher than many other cosmetic procedures.
The main worry is that injected fat can block a blood vessel in the lungs, known as a pulmonary embolism.
Demi’s inquest was relisted for November 5.
