Overview

• Authorities identified the patient as Kelly, 60, a U.S. citizen from Colorado who underwent an aesthetic procedure at a private clinic in Reynosa.
• The clinic is located in the Del Prado neighborhood, and a private UME ambulance transferred her to Hospital Santander, where she arrived with no signs of life.
• Hospital Santander said it did not perform or oversee the prior procedure or transport, reported unsuccessful advanced resuscitation efforts, and declared the death.
• The Tamaulipas prosecutor’s office opened an investigation, CDJUM personnel interviewed medical staff and acquaintances, and the body was sent to SEMEFO for autopsy; results have not been released.
• The case lands during stepped-up health oversight in the state, including recent closures of six aesthetic clinics—three in the border region—and a separate suspension tied to a critical injury report.
