Nigerian girl dies in Bangkok after a failed butt enlargement

Joy Willaims, a 23-year old Nigerian girl has left her family in sorrow after she died in a failed £2, 000 buttock augmentation.

The young girl who has had a nose job before, visited SP clinic, Bangkok on October 14 in a bid to have an enhanced butt. An operation in which her wounds became infected after few days. This made her to go back for a corrective surgery, or probably to remove the silicon implant.

Unfortunately, she was found dead on the operating table with a three inch-long stitched incision on her tail bone after medical staff found they were unable to bring her back to life.

Thai officials investigating her death believe her operation had been delayed to ensure Joy had not eaten anything beforehand and that as a result, the operation began after the clinic’s legal closing time of 7pm.

Sompob Sansiri, the doctor who carried out the surgery, has been arrested and accused of negligence due to his acts of carrying out operations at nights without license. He has been charged with recklessness causing death and might be facing 10 years jail term if found guilty.

However, her family has denied ever knowing she travelled to Bangkok and said she was a girl loved by all. Here is what her brother who spoke to Dailymail from Lagos said about her demise;

'We don't really know what went wrong, we only know what is in reports in the media. She was a very nice and caring person.She brought joy to people's lives.She was a beautiful girl, loved by everybody. We will miss her so much.'

He added that family members are planning to visit the country so they could get her corspe.

Though born in Lagos, Joy moved to Thamesmead with her mom in 2007 and had visited Thailand twice before deciding to go for the surgery.
