Kind of weird that the surgeons are implicated to have caused it in the headline, when he died of a heart problem unrelated to the cosmetic surgery.

You'd think the drugs and medications he was taking would be more at fault in that case.

So the article said he received injections. Which very easily could be the direct cause of the heart attack. Why would you assume the was no connection?? I mean, one was charged with practicing medicine without a license.

Doesn't sound odd at all.

did you not read the article?

The lead surgeon, identified only as “Guy H.”, was initially investigated on suspicion of manslaughter. However, prosecutors later downgraded the charges to failure to assist a person in danger, drug-related offences, and practising medicine without a licence.

Investigators determined that the injection itself was not responsible for Laniado’s death.

A judicial source told Le Parisien that the procedure was “quickly ruled out” as the cause.
