The Discovery and Death

 

The Surgeries: Paloma Nicole’s father, Carlos Ariano, was told his daughter was on a trip to the mountains with her mother, Paloma Jasmine (Carlos’s ex-wife). Instead, she allegedly received multiple procedures—including a breast augmentation, liposuction, and a Brazilian butt lift (BBL)—as a supposed “gift” for her upcoming 15th birthday. The procedures were allegedly performed by the mother’s new partner, Dr. Victor Emanuel Rosales Galindo.
Deterioration: After the surgeries, Paloma Nicole’s mother called the father on September 15th, claiming the teen had been diagnosed with COVID-19 and was in the hospital, put into an induced coma and intubated. She died on September 20th.
The Secret Revealed: At the funeral home, the father was told his daughter’s breasts were larger. He and relatives managed to get a moment alone and discovered obvious scars and breast implants, a procedure to which he says he never would have consented.

 

Medical and Legal Investigation

 

The initial cause of death was listed as an illness, possibly respiratory, with the death certificate citing conditions like cerebral edema, hypoxic encephalopathy, and bradycardia.

The Autopsy: Carlos Ariano immediately demanded an investigation, leading to an official autopsy. Experts in the video noted that the cause of death is paramount, as complications from cosmetic surgery—such as infection, anesthesia issues, or a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lungs)—could lead to the conditions listed on the death certificate.
Multiple Procedures: Experts questioned the decision to perform non-essential plastic surgery on a 14-year-old, whose body is still developing, stating that multiple procedures increase the risk of complications.
Criminal Investigation: The local prosecutor, Sonia Yadira Deagarza Fragosa, confirmed that both the stepfather, Dr. Galindo, and the mother, Paloma Jasmine, are under investigation. The potential charges include:

Lack of Care on the Part of the Mother: For placing a minor in “risky situations.”
Negligent Homicide and Medical Professional Liability: Against Dr. Galindo for potential malpractice.

 

Alleged Cover-Up and Legislative Reaction

COVID-19 Forgery: The prosecutor confirmed that a COVID-19 certificate sent to the school to explain the teen’s absence appears to be a forgery and does not exist in her medical file. The host speculates this was part of an effort to cover up the non-COVID-related reason for her hospitalization.
Regulatory Loophole: The investigation revealed that current Mexican law does not explicitly ban cosmetic procedures on minors as long as one parent provides permission. A Mexican Senator is now planning to introduce legislation to prohibit unnecessary cosmetic surgeries on anyone under the age of 21.
Calls for Justice: Both the Durango Governor and Mexico’s President have publicly sympathized with the father and vowed that there will be no impunity in the case. The father has become a vocal advocate under the slogan “Girls don’t need implants,” demanding justice for his daughter.
