Suspect arraigned in Bay Area models death

An amended criminal complaint was filed on Monday in the death of a social media model. Christina Ashton Gourkani died in April after complications from a cosmetic procedure. The suspect in the case, Vivian Gomez, made her first court appearance and was extradited back from Florida.

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. - The woman accused of performing what turned out to be a deadly cosmetic procedure on a Kim Kardashian lookalike is scheduled to be arraigned Monday in a Redwood City courtroom.

Vivian Gomez, 50, faces several felony charges after she allegedly botched a procedure on 34-year-old Christina "Ashten" Gourkani in a Bay Area hotel room.

Gourkani died a day after she hired Gomez to perform a gluteal silicone injection, sometimes called a "butt lift," which is unapproved by the FDA due to its health dangers.
