Overview
- Medicina Legal concluded that the 52‑year‑old patient died of a pulmonary embolism and that death occurred inside the Beauty Láser M.L. clinic in the Venecia neighborhood of Bogotá.
- Investigators used security footage, toll and vehicle records to trace the removal of the unconscious patient and located her body later in La Naveta between Apulo and Anapoima after DIJIN tracked the car used.
- Bogotá health authorities say the clinic operated without municipal authorization, and officials are examining whether illegal practices or improper use of anesthesia contributed to the fatal outcome.
- The Fiscalía has opened criminal lines of inquiry including possible homicide and forced disappearance charges while police have reported arrests in Cúcuta and detentions in Venezuela that could complicate extradition.
- A nurse's testimony that an unlisted doctor administered anesthesia and that staff left as the woman's condition worsened conflicts with the anesthesiologist's written report and is central to establishing who is responsible.
