Woman dies in Queens basement after silicone butt lift goes awry: cops BY Rocco Parascandola , Chris Sommerfeldt , Rich Schapiro NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Published: Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 11:56 AM Updated: Tuesday, June 2, 2015, 5:56 PM A Maryland woman died after getting butt injections in a Queens basement from a quack doctor — who fled the scene when the victim stopped breathing, police said Tuesday. Kelly Mayhew, who boasted about her curves online and adored Beyonce and Nicki Minaj, succumbed to the botched procedure after driving with her mother to Far Rockaway from Maryland Saturday. “Her death just came out of nowhere,” said family friend Kem Harris, 20. Mayhew’s doomed trip to New York ended inside a basement apartment in a two-family home on Dickens St. that doubled as the phony plastic surgeon’s office. Mayhew started gurgling and struggling to breathe after the bogus doctor injected silicone into her tush, her mother told police. The frantic mom sprang into action — performing CPR on her fading daughter and demanding the doctor call 911. Instead, the suspect grabbed her keys, ran out of the house and sped away in a gray SUV, sources said. The mother called 911 herself. By the time cops arrived at 6:50 p.m., paramedics were already there performing CPR on Mayhew. The victim was rushed to St. John’s Hospital where she was pronounced dead. Detectives are still hunting for the suspect. “Too soon only 34 years old, mah heart can't believe it,” Mayhew’s sister, Cece, posted on Facebook. An initial autopsy performed on Mayhew was inconclusive. “Following the examination, we are doing additional studies and also await the police investigation,” said Julie Bolcer, spokeswoman for the city medical examiner’s office. Mayhew’s final post on Facebook was a photo of Minaj and Beyonce. “Love,” the victim wrote. Her Facebook page also features a collage of pictures showing off her curves. “Brains Beauty Boobs and Booty!” reads the caption. Mayhew’s mother told police her daughter was healthy and had five previous butt enhancements. Sources said Mayhew’s fatal procedure was organized by a family friend. Mayhew’s mother, sometime after the suspect fled, tried to call the person who set up the appointment but couldn’t reach her. The pal later wiped her social media account clean, sources said. A woman who answered Mayhew’s mother’s phone Tuesday declined to comment. “We don’t want to talk. I’m so sorry,” the woman said. Family friend Harris described Mayhew as the kind of person who would do anything for a loved one. “She just brought life to everybody,” Harris said. Neighbors of the Dickens St. apartment were in disbelief. “I was in complete shock when I heard about how the lady died," said Judith Johnson, 45, who lives next door. “I had no idea something like that was going on.” Poster Comment: She shoulda used Caitlyn's doctors. She could have even been eligible for a big butt award on ESPN, who knows? Or she coulda been out looting stores in Baltimore instead of worrying about her butt lift.
