Police and federal authorities are investigating the death of a 20-year-old British woman after she had a procedure to enhance her buttocks.
Sources have identified the victim as Claudia Adusei of Great Britain.
According to officials, Adusei and three other women from Great Britain checked into the Hampton Inn on Bartram Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia on Saturday.
Police say two of the women came specifically for enhancement procedures while the other two were planning a trip to New York.
"The other two came for a birthday party [and] to go to New York to visit," Lt. John Walker of the Philadelphia Police Department said.
At noon on Monday, police say two women performed the enhancement procedure on the two British tourists. One received hip and buttocks injections and Adusei received injections just to the buttocks.
At around 1:30 Tuesday morning, medics were called to the hotel.
"They had a female experiencing some trouble breathing, some chest pains," Walker said.
Adusei was rushed to Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital where she was pronounced dead.
Detectives are trying to learn more about how common this procedure is in the area.
"This is the first one we had; we're looking into it with other agencies. As we expand this out, we'll determine how big it actually is," Walker said.
It has yet to be determined where the women who allegedly performed this procedure are from or if they're licensed, but sources say at least one is not local.
Only preliminary information is being released so far about the death of the 20-year-old.
Commonly in these cases, silicone or silicone oil is injected, neither of which is FDA approved to inject in the skin, but police are awaiting toxicology reports on the exact makeup of the substance.

This was posted earlier and got pulled. Not sure why.
Not sure why? LOL
Brain damage?
no comment...
Investigators need to get to the bottom of this.
Apparently takes months, if not years, to get these silicon-oil treatments from the Obama-like National Health in GB. So, desperate flat-butted British women are forced to engage in medical tourism*. Terrible, really.
There's a guy behind the Italian Market who was doing heart transplants, but he ran into a rejection problem. Yo, I hate when that happens in Philly.
*There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that when English Doctors do oil injections, it immediately leaks out onto the garage floor. However, since Lucas makes the operating room lights, they frequently do have to complete surgeries in the dark.
Buttocks procedures have also effected Barney Frank.
Yeah, it was right after I suggested that the woman could have gone to the White Hut for a transplant. Plenty of injection material over there, especially right after the Super Bowl.
Good one.
Hilary was the tissue donor.
To look like Missy?
Got to find the seat of the problem.
Surgical procedure in a motel room in a Hampton Inn in southwest Philadelphia? What could possibly go wrong? Isn’t that where EVERYONE has their surgical procedures done? Still, this does give a whole new meaning to concierge medicine when its the ACTUAL concierge doing the procedure, right?
Dr. Hugh Jass and his addanasstome procedure.
As it turns out, it was not a woman—it was a male to female sex-change victim who wanted to star in hip-hop videos.
