A woman has been arrested and charged with involuntary manslaughter and practicing medicine without a license in connection with the death of Christina Ashten Gourkani, an OnlyFans model known for resembling Kim Kardashian.
Vivian Gomez, 50, allegedly gave Gourkani illegal cosmetic injections meant to enlarge her buttocks that ultimately led to her death from cardiac arrest on April 20.
The Danger of Illegal Injections
According to Dr. Michael K. Obeng, a board-certified plastic surgeon and member of PEOPLE’s Health Squad, such illegal injections are usually made with silicone or other foreign substances that can migrate within the body and lead to infection and deformity over time.
They can also block blood vessels and cause necrosis, or tissue death, if they enter the bloodstream.
Gourkani’s family shared the tragic details of the incident in a GoFundMe post. They received a frantic phone call at 4:31 a.m. on April 20, informing them that Gourkani was dying.
They described her as a caring and loving free spirit who had a gift for connecting with people and making them feel special.
The GoFundMe page was created to request donations for Gourkani’s funeral costs.
