Overview
- Sandra Díaz del Valle collapsed after visiting a private clinic and was later declared dead at Hospital Escuela following resuscitation attempts, her husband says she received an injection in the back of her neck and felt a sudden electric shock on June 10.
- TV Azteca Honduras confirmed the 46-year-old chef's death and the coincidence of the timing with birthday messages from colleagues intensified public attention.
- The Dirección Policial de Investigaciones and the Ministerio Público inspected the clinic, seized clinical files and opened inquiries to determine if medical negligence occurred while a formal autopsy and forensic tests are pending.
- Local outlets report she underwent same-day aesthetic treatments, including a facial 'cóctel para el rostro', and the Asociación Hondureña de Medicina Estética has noted the attending practitioner was not affiliated with the group; those reports are being examined but are not proven as causes.
- The family has filed a complaint and investigators will use the seized medical records, witness testimony and autopsy results to establish a cause of death and any possible legal consequences for clinic staff.
