Key Points:
- A 14-year-old girl d!ed after breast surgery in Tijuana. Her dad says he never gave consent.
- The dad blames the mum’s lover for the plan. He says the d€ath paper hid the true cause.
- Police and a surgeons’ body now probe the case. A doctor is off duty as checks begin.
Paloma Nicole Arellano Escobedo was just 14 years old. She d!ed on 20 September 2025 in Mexico. The girl had a secret breast job in Tijuana. Her dad, Carlos Arellano, says he knew nothing.
He says the mum’s boyfriend set up the surgery. He says Paloma had hard side effects soon after. Her heart and lungs failed, and her brain swelled. Medics then said she had passed on.
Father says there is a cover up
Carlos says the d€ath paper made no sense. He says it blamed a “respiratory illness,” not surgery. He calls that line false and a cover up. “They tried to hide the truth,” he says.
The paper came fast, and that raised more doubt. At the wake, some kin saw her chest looked big. They told Carlos their fears in hushed tones. He asked the girl’s mum, but she said no.
Carlos then checked with close kin by his side. They looked with care and saw fresh sc@rs. “She had breast implants,” he says in a calm tone. “We took clear shots and asked for an autopsy.”
Police widen probe into mum and doctor
Police in Durango have opened a case on the d€ath. The state’s top law aide, Yadira de la Garza Fragoso, spoke. “We are probing a likely lack of care by the mum,” she said. She notes the girl was in the mum’s care.
Cops also named a 45-year-old doctor, Víctor Manuel. He was in a love tie with the girl’s mum. The national surgeons’ group has now benched him. It says he stays off work while checks run.
In Mexico, no one law bans such work for teens. But clinics still need clear forms from both parents. This case, the dad says, had none at all. A full autopsy note is due from the state path team.
Grief and shock now fill the small home town. Kin want clean facts and a fair, swift probe. Rights groups also ask for tight rules on teen surgery. They plead for strict consent and safe care.
