Joy Williams, who was aged 24, and from Thamesmead,
south-east London, died following a botched procedure
that went wrong. Joy was said to have been undergoing
buttock augmentation by an allegedly uncertified surgeon
in Bangkok when tragedy struck.
According to our source, Joy had made the ill-fated
journey to Thailand without informing her parents. She
was the eldest and only daughter of her family.
Speaking yesterday from his home in Lagos, Nigeria to
Mail Online, Miss Williams's older brother Anietie, 28,
said he had been looking forward to her visiting him in
Nigeria this Christmas. He said: 'We don't really know
what went wrong, we only know what is in reports in the
media.
'She was a very nice and caring person. 'She brought joy
to people's lives. 'She was a beautiful girl, loved by
everybody. We will miss her so much.'
He added that the family were still making preparations to
bring Miss Williams's body home and that his brother
was planning to fly to Thailand and return to London with
it. Miss Williams, who was born in Lagos, settled in
Thamesmead with her mother Christie in 2007 and had
been to Thailand twice before choosing to visit for
surgery.
She initially visitied to the SP clinic, which she found on
the internet, on October 14 to have the operation which
she hoped would give her a bigger, fuller bottom.
A few days later her wounds became infected and she
returned to have corrective surgery to remove the silicon
implants.
But she was found dead on the operating table with a
three inch-long stitched incision on her tail bone after
medical staff found they were unable to resuscitate her.
Thai officials investigating her death believe her
operation had been delayed to ensure Miss Williams had
not eaten anything beforehand and that as a result the
operation began after the clinic's legal closing time of
7pm.
It is believed Miss Williams had long struggled with her
self-esteem and been bullied at school before choosing
to undergo an operation on her nose to improve her
looks. While in Bangkok she had been staying at the £11-
a-night Vabua Asotel hotel which is used by the clinic as
accommodation for its patients.
The doctor who carried out the procedure, Sompob
Sansiri, 51, was later arrested and accused of negligence
after it was found that he had been carrying out night-
time surgery without a licence. He has now been charged
with recklessness causing death and could face 10 years
in jail if found guilty.
The clinic has been closed for 60
days while investigations are carried out. Thailand is a
world-leader in cosmetic surgery tourism with many
companies offering procedures at discounts of up to 60
per cent.
The industry earned the country £2.68billion in 2013
alone.
If you will recall a similar incident happened 2 yrs ago
also with a Nigerian girl who went to Philadelphia and
died in the process of this butt augmentation by a fake
doctor.
Claudia Aderotimi, 20, died after suffering medical
complications following the treatment, which she
received in a hotel room in America.
Her former boyfriend,
Paul Djimo said the aspiring dancer and model had
undergone a similar procedure just months earlier and
swore never to do so again due to the pain from the
process.
It is truly heartbreaking that such a young, vibrant,
beautiful girl would put her life at such great risks for
such an unnecessary process.
It is such a shame that
young women in our society still feel the need to fit a
certain bill' to feel beautiful.
