FLORIDA PERSONAL INJURY BLOG: Woman Slips Into Coma And Dies Follow Liposuction Surgery At Florida Spa

A mother of three and registered nurse in Broward County has died following nearly a month on life support while in a coma according to a story on TampaBay.com. Rohie Kah-Orukotan went in for a full liposuction surgery at a Weston spa on September 25 and fell into a coma following the procedure. The 37-year-old died nearly a month later.

The medical examiner in Broward County is waiting for test results to determine a cause of death. Lawyers for the victim, the doctor and the spa were contacted for the story but they did not have much to say. The lawyer for Dr. Omar Brito said his client has experience with the procedure and the lawyer for the spa said they are cooperating fully with the investigation. The lawyer for the family verified that the procedure took place at the Weston MedSpa.
