Here's a story for the archives of bizarre and somewhat disturbing news: A beautician has been jailed for killing a client of hers by injecting her with cooking oil -- in her buttocks. Apparently the beautician has been using the corn oil as an anti-aging treatment, and has given it to several of her clients over the years.
46-year-old Maria Olivia Castillo died of multiple organ failure caused by fat blockages throughout her body as a result of the treatments. Martha Mata Vasquez pleaded guilty to manslaughter and has been sentenced to 15 years in prison.
This isn't the first time the quest for beauty has had fatal consequences, and I'm sure it won't be the last. Please, if you feel the need to take measures to turn back the clock, do it with a medical professional or at least a trained beauty expert who uses legitimate anti-aging treatments.
