MIAMI (AP) - A South Florida woman posing as a doctor has been charged with manslaughter after authorities say she pumped unknown substances into a patient's buttocks during enhancement surgery.
Thirty-two year-old Shatarka Nuby is one of several victims who sought out the cosmetic procedure. Broward County Sheriff's deputies say Oneal Morris came to her house and injected her buttocks, hips, thighs and breasts with an unknown substance. Morris allegedly sealed the injection sites with super glue and cotton balls.
Nuby died in March in Tallahassee. An assistant medical examiner said she suffered "massive systemic silicone migration" from the injections.
Morris was arrested Thursday. She was charged last fall with practicing medicine without a license with serious bodily injury after several victims came forward.
Her attorney did not immediately respond to an email.
