Police have launched an investigation after a woman died receiving butt-enhancement injections from a man who claimed to be a doctor from Venezuela.
Suyima Torres, 28, died in April, and police are treating it as manslaughter connected to the unlicensed practice of medicine.
Suyima reportedly visited Cuerpos Health and Aesthetics for a $1,500 procedure in which an oily yellow substance was injected into each of her butt cheeks, according to court documents.
A few weeks later she had another round of injections and felt dizzy right after. She died ten hours later.
Victim: Suyima Torres, aged 28, died in April after receiving two separate sets of butt implants from a Venezuelan 'doctor' in a Miami clinic
She paid $2,300 in total cash for the injections.
Though her cause of death has not been determined, police are treating it as a homicide.
Miami Dade Police seized records, medications, and computers from Cuerpos Health and Aesthetics LLC.
Tragic: Torres' mother, Coralia Espinosa, told NBCMiami her daughter was rushed to the hospital accompanied by Ruth Planas after the second procedure
No charges have been filedbut authorities still have few details for family members and a suspect believed to have left the country.
Ruth Planas, the owner of Cuerpos Health and Aesthetics LLC, is refusing to provide any information on the 'Venezuelan Doctor'.
Torres' mother, Coralia Espinosa, told NBCMiamiher daughter was rushed to the hospital accompanied by Ruth Planas after the second procedure.
But she never told the doctors about the procedure.
'Maybe if that woman would've told them early my daughter would still be here,' she told NBCMiami.
The business appears to be closed, locked down and packages are being left on the doorstep.
Torres' death happened just 16 days after 20-year-old Dailen Garcia says she received buttocks injections at the same center and then suffered vision problems and bleeding of the lungs.
She was hospitalized in an intensive care unit, NBC Miami reports.
The most famous butt enhancement case came when the so-called 'toxic tush' nurse allegedly injected patients with Fix-A-Flat and Super Glue.
One of Oneal Morris' patients died after receiving the toxic serum in her buttocks, hips and breasts. She was later charged with manslaughter.

Shatarka Nuby, a 31-year-old mother, was the first of Morris' patients to die from the procedures. Nuby told friends the injection sites became hard and hot and that her skin turned black.
Morris, 32, was already facing multiple charges in Broward County, Florida, after other patients reported getting sick after she pumped them with an unhealthy concoction of chemicals as part of a black market plastic surgery business that she allegedly performed in hotels and in patients' homes.
