DELTONA, FL -- Christina White's daughter, Dianne Clark, said her mother just wanted to look younger. So when she saw an ad in a local paper that promised a new younger look, she decided to take another chance at youth.
"You don't expect to go in for a face lift and, like I said, not make it through the night or not have your mom make it through the night."
White's boyfriend Christopher Moora is just as upset. He was out of town when White made the decision to have the surgery, a facelift and chin liposuction, a surgery he did not think she needed.
"I was very dismayed, very disappointed, because I felt it was a very unnatural and unnecessary procedure." Moora said.
His disappointment turned to complete sadness. Just hours after her surgery, Moora says another relative became concerned when White didn't answer the phone at her home in Deltona.
She was found inside not breathing. And while investigators say an autopsy shows surgery had nothing to do with her death, White's family is calling for another investigation.
Moora is convinced his loved one was overmedicated. He says she was prescribed at least 7 medications.
"She received additional medication and then was instructed to take even more when she arrived at home. My tears have begun to ebb and my anger is way up there, " said Moora.
The medical examiner is still waiting on toxicology tests and the family hopes that will bring answers.
