Christina Ashten Gourkani, a 34-year-old OnlyFans model and Kim Kardashian lookalike, passed away last week after suffering cardiac arrest following a plastic surgery procedure. The news has left her family and followers in shock and has once again raised questions about the safety of cosmetic surgery.
Gourkani, who went by the name Ashten on OnlyFans, had gained a following for her resemblance to reality TV star Kim Kardashian and had been selling X-rated pictures to subscribers on the platform. However, a recent plastic surgery procedure proved fatal as she suffered a cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately, Gourkani never recovered and passed away in the hospital.
In a statement, Gourkani’s family expressed their grief and disbelief at her sudden passing. “It is with deep sorrow and an immensely heavy, broken heart that we have to share the most shattering, unfortunate and unexpected passing of our beautiful, beloved daughter and sister Christina Ashten Gourkani,” the statement read.
The family also described the harrowing moment they received a call from someone at 4:30 am, shouting that “Ashten is dying.” They described the experience as a “living nightmare” as they watched her health deteriorate in the hospital following the cardiac arrest.
In the wake of Gourkani’s death, her family has launched a GoFundMe page to raise funds for her funeral expenses. As of Wednesday afternoon, the page has raised $3,540 of its $40,000 goal.
Gourkani’s death has once again highlighted the dangers of plastic surgery and the risks associated with undergoing such procedures. The tragic incident has also reignited conversations about the pressures placed on women, particularly those in the public eye, to conform to beauty standards and undergo cosmetic procedures.
In response to the news of Gourkani’s death, Magdalena, a plastic surgery addict who had previously come close to death trying to get the “world’s fattest vagina,” took to social media to express her condolences. “It is so scary because you really just never know when you’re going to die from [risky surgery],” she wrote, before expressing her own fears about sustaining brain damage during surgery.
The circumstances surrounding Gourkani’s death are a reminder of the need for caution and careful consideration when it comes to cosmetic surgery. While the desire to look and feel one’s best is understandable, it is crucial to prioritize safety and to fully research any procedure and its potential risks before undergoing it.
