The case documents reveal that on April 30, 2018, Marja McClendon arrived at a hospital in her native St. Louis, Missouri, with severe pain in various parts of her body and difficulty breathing. The chemical silicone had already traveled to the woman’s lungs.

Despite the doctors’ best efforts, Marja McClendon passed away in the emergency room, and the doctors couldn’t figure out how the substance had got into her body. Someone told them that she had traveled to Texas to get butt injections from Lisa Fernández.

Witnesses reported that Marja McClendon began to complain of severe pain almost immediately. The supposed beauty consultant stopped the treatment and refused to give her client a refund.
