SOUTHWEST PHILADELPHIA - February 8, 2011 (WPVI) --
Philadelphia police are investigating the death of a woman after she had a procedure to enhance her buttocks.
Police say the woman had the procedure sometime on Monday and ran into complications.
She later died at Mercy Fitzgerald Hospital in Delaware County.
Police were at the Hampton Inn hotel on Bartram Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia near the airport on Tuesday as part of the investigation.
The identity of the woman has not yet been released.
Police say she was one of four woman who were from out of the country who came here for the procedure.
The Delaware County Medical Examiner tells Action News that the autopsy has been completed today. Officials, however, won't release details pending notification to the victim's family and authorities.
Infections are highly prevalent in hospitals, its why surgeons won't even take the risk if you're priorly cut or have any wounds (circumstances permitting obviously)
