A MUM-OF-THREE died on the operating table during a tummy tuck at a clinic in Mexico’s Guadalajara.
Eréndira Torres Tiscareño suffered major liver lacerations, according to the autopsy report.

A few hours after Eréndira arrived at the clinic for the procedure on Saturday, her husband Hugo León received a nightmare call from the hospital, according to the Jalisco State Attorney General’s Office.
Hugo told local media: “They told me my wife had suffered a heart attack.
“And that they’d been trying to revive her for three hours.”
He continued: “They let me in to see her, and when I touched her, she was already very cold.”
According to Hugo, the autopsy showed Eréndira died from “massive liver lacerations and major blood vessel injuries caused by a sharp object”.
“She bled to death right then and there,” he added.
An investigation has been launched into the clinic in Guadalajara, located in the western Mexican state of Jalisco.
The Jalisco Prosecutor’s Office said: “As part of the investigation, the operating theatre and the medical instruments used during the procedure have been secured.”
Eréndira, who would have turned 38 on Thursday, is survived by her three children, aged three, five and 10.
Hugo said: “She never hurt anyone.
“She had no malice in her. And that’s not fair for someone so good.”
It comes as a businesswoman, influencer and mum lost her life during a “three-in-one” plastic surgery operation.
Natália Cavanellas Thomazella, 40, went into cardiac arrest on the operating table – with her death being treated as “suspicious”.
She developed a pulmonary embolism just moments after receiving a fat injection in her buttocks, according to the surgeon’s lawyers.
Meanwhile, a journalist and model also died after allegedly having fillers in her buttocks.
Lygia Fazio, 40, passed away after having the botched procedure in Brazil.
She developed severe complications from the injections, which used polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) – a synthetic resin commonly used as a glass substitute.
PMMA is often sold under brand names like Plexiglas, Lucite and Perspex.
In cosmetic procedures, tiny PMMA microspheres suspended in a biological fluid are injected under the skin as soft-tissue fillers.
But in Lygia’s case, the substance spread throughout her body, leading to severe infections and even a stroke.
What are the risks of cosmetic surgery?
A number of medical complications can arise from cosmetic surgery, including:
- Complications related to anesthesia, including pneumonia, blood clots and rarely, death
- Infection where the cuts during surgery, called incisions, were made
- Fluid buildup under the skin
- Mild bleeding
- Heavy bleeding – which may require a blood suffusion from a donor
- Scarring
- Separation of the surgical wound
- Loss of feeling or tingling from nerve damage
