Baja state officials said the private hospital where the surgery was supposed to take place had been operating without a license for two months, and the director running it is not a doctor
The attorney general’s office for Baja California has opened a criminal investigation into the death of the wife of a Guatemalan diplomat this month following plastic surgery at a private hospital in Tijuana.
“Apparently, the authorities of said institution disregarded the suspension and committed a crime by removing the suspension seals and carrying out an operation that resulted in the death of a patient, a situation that we deeply regret and we will support the corresponding investigation, with the background that COEPRIS had closed that site prior to the death,” Areizaga said.Staff at Hospital Jerusalem in Playas de Tijuana did not return a request for comment.
After Chacón’s death, the state attorney general’s office searched the private clinic and state health authorities returned to replace the suspension seals on the front doors of the building. The original yellow “clausurado” seals had been removed and some had been painted over with white paint, health officials said.
The next day, on June 23, Chacón told her family that in fact she had been moved to Hospital Florence in the city’s upscale Cacho neighborhood. There, she said, she was operated on by someone named José Luis Tokunaga without her authorization or permission of her family, according to state officials. She was then transferred back to Hospital Jerusalem, where Betancourt could not explain to her or her husband why she was moved. Ten days later, she died.
The deaths and infections feed concerns about a lack of oversight in the industry in Baja California. In Weaver’s case, the doctor who allegedly operated on her, Jesús Manuel Báez López, did not appear in a database of accredited plastic surgeons., according to Weaver’s mother. The clinic continues operating. Báez did not return requests for comment.
