'BBL death' needs more investigating, says coroner

Alice Webb, 33, died on Tuesday 24 September after falling unwell

Further investigation is needed to confirm the cause of death of a woman believed to have undergone a non-surgical Brazilian butt lift (BBL), a coroner has said.

Mother-of-five Alice Webb, 33, died at Gloucestershire Royal Hospital in the early hours of 24 September after falling unwell.

The inquest into her death was opened and adjourned at Gloucestershire Coroner's Court on Thursday, where the coroner stated the medical cause of death had not yet been confirmed.

Two people have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter.

Gloucestershire Police's major crime team is investigating and the two arrested people have been released on bail.

The Gloucestershire coroner Roland Wooderson told the court he received confirmation from Ms Webb's mother Rachel Box that hospital staff were unable to resuscitate her daughter, following the procedure at another location.

A post-mortem examination is currently being carried out, with the next inquest date to be fixed.

BBL is a treatment designed to make buttocks bigger, more rounded or lifted. It can be offered as a surgical or non-surgical procedure.

Surgical BBLs involve inserting silicone-filled implants and/or removing fat from other parts of the body before injecting it into the buttocks.

Non-surgical BBLs - like the one Ms Webb is believed to have had - involves injecting dermal filler into the buttocks.
