Naked socialite
jumps to her
death after
facelift By David K. Li January 28, 2014 | 3:00pm A British socialite freaked out after having
plastic surgery, stripped naked and jumped
to her death off a Beverly Hills high rise last
week, authorities said. Sandra D’Auriol, 53, who used to work for
jeweler Asprey — a favorite of the royal
family — had undergone a facelift last
Tuesday and woke up the following morning
“agitated and aggressive,” according to
investigators who believe she might have had a bad reaction to anesthesia. D’Auriol took off her clothes and went to the
roof of the Camden Medical Arts building, at
414 N. Camden Drive, on Wednesday
morning, officials said. She sat there for three hours, dangling her
feet off the edge. Police negotiators tried to
reason with D’Auriol before she took the fatal
plunge. The mother of two was based in Hong Kong. She had gone under the knife of famed
Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Brian
Novack, a Tinseltown nip-tuck veteran who
has worked on Demi Moore and other A-
Listers, according to The Hollywood
Reporter. D’Auriol was on the board of directors of the
Child Welfare Scheme, a Hong Kong charity
dedicated to helping poor kids in Nepal. “It was a tragic incident,” former CWS
colleague Avi Rai told The Daily Mail. “It has
been a very difficult time for her family.” D’Auriol, who had lived in Hong Kong since
1983, was born to British parents in India and
grew up in Singapore and Ibiza, according to
her CWS bio. “Every season, she creates one-of-a-kind
jewelry which is exhibited in various cities
such as London, Paris, New York, Milan, and
others,” the charity profile said. “She has been involved with CWS since 1999
and despite being a wonderful and busy
mother, wife and friend, she always has
plenty of time to help anyone in need.” Novack’s office referred all calls to his
lawyer, who did not return messages seeking
his comments. The cosmetic surgeon has
been licensed to practice medicine in
California since 1982, with no record of
discipline.
