Belém plastic surgery death investigation

Overview

Authorities in Belém, Brazil, are investigating the death of 29-year-old entrepreneur Giovanna Coelho Gomes, who died approximately 27 hours after undergoing multiple plastic surgery procedures, including abdominoplasty and liposuction.

Her family has alleged medical negligence against surgeon André Santana Melo, claiming he failed to provide adequate assistance during a medical emergency in which the victim suffered four cardiac arrests. The Regional Medical Council of Pará (CRM-PA) has opened a formal inquiry into the circumstances of the death.

As the case has gained public attention, additional women have contacted the family and legal team to report similar post-operative complications following procedures performed by the same surgeon. Legal representatives are currently organizing these reports to potentially pursue a collective criminal complaint with the Civil Police.
