Mum-of-Two From Northampton Died After Cosmetic Surgery in Turkey
Sophie Hunt, 34, died from surgical complications including multi-organ failure after tummy tuck and liposuction in Turkey; family said she had abnormal ECG readings.
- On March 9, 2022, Sophie Hunt, 34, mother-of-two, died at Avrupa Safak Hospital in Istanbul from respiratory and organ failure two days after abdominoplasty and Brazilian butt lift at Nisantasi Hospital.
- Following the operation she was resuscitated then moved by ambulance to a specialist cardiac ICU, where she suffered further cardiac arrests, court heard.
- Official findings linked the procedures to complications, according to investigators and the post-mortem; Turkish investigators found the death resulted from abdominoplasty, liposuction, and ensuing complications, while Professor Kevin West, consultant histopathologist, concluded the cause is unclear but likely linked to surgery.
- Sandra Hunt told the court the family believe Sophie was not fit for the surgery after hospital paperwork showed some ECG readings indicating an abnormal heartbeat, and sister Aimee Hunt said `If she hadn't had the surgery, she would be alive still`.
- Assistant coroner Sophie Lomas said she does not have jurisdiction to fully investigate the Turkish hospital, while the family raised concerns about BBL technique risks and urge safer cosmetic surgery research abroad.
