Man kills self after daughter dies from botched butt lift in Turkey

A dad took his own life after his daughter died following a botched Brazilian butt lift operation in Turkey.

Craig Cambridge, 51, found his life “spiralling downwards” after his 29-year-old daughter Leah Cambridge died following a 2018 operation in Turkey that went wrong.

The dad was tragically found dead at his home in Leeds and an inquest has found how he had never been able to get over Leah’s awful death.

On the day he died, he had tried to ring doctors three times before his death but they had been closed because it was a bank holiday, Leeds Live reports .

After an investigation into his death, senior coroner Kevin McLoughlin said he would be contacting the surgeon who botched Leah’s operation.

Craig struggled with alcohol dependency and depression after his daughter’s tragic death, Wakefield Coroners’ Court heard.

On April, 5, 2021, his daughter’s partner found Craig dead in his loft. This came nearly three years after Leah died in Izmir, Turkey, in August 2018.

She died from a pulmonary embolism after Dr Ali Uckan accidentally injected fat into her veins. Leah had three heart attacks at the operating table.

Mr McLoughlin conducted the inquests for the dad and daughter and said he wanted to let Dr Ali Uckan know the damage his surgery caused.

He said to Craig’s daughters Hayley and Chelsea and ex-partner Theresa Hall: “Normally I am quite detached and hard-hearted about inquests, but when I saw another tragedy had befallen your family, I felt quite grievous.
