Santo Domingo.- Charilín Cedeño, 23, died Thursday during cosmetic surgery at Contreras Clinic, owned by Edgar Contreras, whose notorious practice has been blamed for the deaths of several patients.
Cedeño arrived Tuesday with a friend from the US for a liposuction but died at the clinic located in the Arroyo Hondo sector of the National District. Relatives say she died of cardiac arrest resulting from medical malpractice.
Previous deaths
At least three women charged Contreras of malpractice at the National District Office of the Prosecutor in May last year but was released on bail. In June that year the Public Health Ministry temporarily closed the clinic for violating the Health Law and its regulations.

Horrible News a new girl Died at Contreras
Something real bad happened @ Contreras. 23 April 2015
So around 2pm they finally got me dress and ready for the OR. Once I arrived at the OR they placed me in a small waiting room right outside the OR, the anesthesiologist open the door and said I be back in 2 minutes. Next thing you know a nurse flew in and grab some pads and ran out than she rush back in and another nurse was behind her and you can hear the commotion out side than a 3rd time but this time it was a nurse out of the OR or a doctor because they had scrubs gloves hats I mean they came from the OR, few minutes it was a long silent than all kinds of noise people screaming they need it some medications, another one in the phone calling all kinds of people and out the blue I heard a lady just crying I mean crying like something horrible just happened than another lady in the background trying to calm her down and telling her to breathe than the same lady started praying louder and louder, than someone else told them to get her out of there and put her somewhere to calm her down and to give her something before people hear her. Than more commotion when on and some lady said ask who was in the OR and the nurse answer Dr. Contreras than some other lady came and said she had things under control. Next thing you know the same lady that was dressed in scrubs and came out of the OR came and put both of her hands in front of me she didn't say a word just gave me a brief small, I guess she thought I didn't speak Spanish so she help me up to the elevator. No one stop to tell me what's going on but before I left the OR one of the nurses keep saying we have to get her out, and we have to bring her out true this way. By the time I made it to the elevator the entire staff was gone and inside the OR. No one told me anything no explanation nothing so I got dressed and went to the front desk to ask for a refund when I requested to speak with his secretary they told me she was down at the OR as well. Than a lady came in the guard rush to help her park her truck and she ran I side to the OR as well.
I really think the lady that was having surgery die, by the conversation and the things I heard it was no way in hell that was just a complication. Everyone was running around and after everything happened it was to much cleaning going on.
I really pray that am wrong and that the lady is ok. But I will go see Dr. CONTRERAS Monday and am going to demand for him to tell me what happened today.
24 April 2015 my sis sent me a message from the local newspaper paper and the girl did died but I don't think what they saying is right because I was there and I heard other things.
