Forensic Report Finds Silvina Luna Died From Sepsis-Linked Embolism Caused by Foreign-Body Reaction to Injections

Legal analysts say the conclusion comes too late to support a separate homicide charge.

Overview

  • Argentina’s Cuerpo Médico Forense concluded Luna’s immediate cause of death was a pulmonary thromboembolism stemming from sepsis originating in a granulomatous giant-cell foreign-body disease.
  • Court-appointed experts linked the foreign-body granulomas to Luna’s hypercalcemia and affirmed with medico-legal certainty that this chain of events led to her death.
  • Attorney Fernando Burlando disclosed the findings on América TV’s El diario de Mariana, emphasizing both the mechanism and the severity of the material found in her body.
  • Burlando said investigators determined the injected substance was an industrial preparation rather than a laboratory-approved product, and records cite earlier PMMA applications in 2011 at Full Esthetic, including 100 cc initially and further deep injections.
  • Aníbal Lotocki remains convicted and sentenced for causing serious injuries to patients, and commentators note procedural limits that prevent pursuing a separate homicide case based on the new pericial report.
