Police have arrested a suspect in connection with the death of OnlyFans model Christina Ashten Gourkan, who was known for her resemblance to Kim Kardashian. The suspect, identified as Vivian Gomez, was apprehended on April 20 at the Fort Lauderdale Hollywood International Airport in Florida.
Gourkan died on April 20 from complications related to cosmetic surgery, according to her website. Gomez, who is 50 years old and resides in Florida, is facing two felony counts of involuntary manslaughter and practicing medicine without a license to result in great bodily injury. She is set to be extradited to California before a May 22 court appearance.
San Mateo County District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe told the Palo Alto Daily Post that Gourkan had hired Gomez to assist her with a buttock enhancement. After arriving in Burlingame, California, Gomez allegedly administered what is believed to be silicone injections to the Kardashian look-alike. Gourkan then began experiencing health problems and eventually went into cardiac arrest, according to E! News.
The tragic incident highlights the dangers of cosmetic surgery performed by unlicensed individuals. As the demand for such procedures increases, it is essential for individuals to seek out licensed and reputable practitioners. In addition, individuals should thoroughly research the risks and potential complications associated with any cosmetic procedure they are considering, and should never hesitate to ask questions or seek a second opinion.
The loss of Christina Ashten Gourkan is a stark reminder of the importance of safety and caution in cosmetic surgery. It is hoped that her tragic story will serve as a wake-up call for those seeking such procedures to prioritize safety and quality over convenience and cost.
