On July 26, the rapper was admitted to Evandro Freire Hospital, and was immediately taken into intensive care. She died in the hospital the following day after suffering from sepsis and kidney failure.
Doctors claimed Rodrigues’ life could have been saved if she had received medical attention on time. They also said an undisclosed substance had been combined with the fat before it was pumped into her glutes during the operation.
Rodrigues’ friend, Janine Vieira, claimed she made several attempts to reach the doctor who performed the cosmetic surgery but the clinic refused to help.

The Regional Council of Medicine in the state of Rio de Janeiro has confirmed there is an open investigation into the case.
