Man dies from penis-enhancing injection
A New Jersey woman has been charged with homicide after authorities said she injected silicone into the penis of a man who later died of a blood clot.
The 22-year-old victim, who died in May, had been seeking a penis enhancement, authorities told the Star-Ledger newspaper.
Kasia Rivera, 34, of East Orange, was arrested Friday on manslaughter charges and unauthorized practice of medicine in the death of Justin Street.
Street died May 6, the day after he received the injection at Rivera's home, authorities said.
The medical examiner determined the cause of death as silicone embolism as a result of the injection, according to prosecutors.
