A New York mother has died while receiving plastic surgery in the Dominican Republic, making her the third victim from the United States to die under such circumstances in the space of a month.

The mother-of-one, Alexandra Medina, 33, from New Rochelle, reportedly decided to undergo the liposuction procedure at the tourist hotspot as she wasn’t happy with her appearance.
