Vivian Gomez was convicted for administering illegal silicone injections that caused the death of model Christina Gourkani, who spent over $30,000 on cosmetic procedures, prosecutors said.
- A jury convicted 53-year-old Vivian Alexandra Gomez on Monday of felony involuntary manslaughter in the 2023 death of Christina Ashten Gourkani, a Kim Kardashian look-alike model.
- In April 2023, Gomez flew to the Burlingame Marriott near San Francisco International Airport to perform an illegal silicone injection procedure on Gourkani, who became ill immediately afterward.
- Gourkani, known as "Kim's Twin," had invested at least $30,000 into surgeries to emulate Kim Kardashian; the silicone injections triggered respiratory failure and a pulmonary embolism.
- Following the verdict, Gomez was remanded into custody without bail and faces up to seven years in state prison, with sentencing scheduled for May 5.
- The Food and Drug Administration warns that injectable silicone for body contouring remains unapproved and can cause serious injuries, disfigurement, stroke, or death when injected.
