Biomedic Lorena Marcondes is arrested for the second time in investigation into the death of a patient during liposuction in MG | Midwest

The indictment is for the death of Iris Martins, who had liposuction on May 8 last year in Divinópolis. At the time, she suffered two cardiorespiratory arrests after the procedure carried out by the biomedical doctor and was taken to the São João de Deus Health Complex, where she could not resist and subsequently died.

In a note, defense lawyer Tiago Lenoir informed that “upon learning of the arrest, she immediately filed a habeas corpus petition before the Court of Justice. We emphasize that the biomedical doctor was awaiting the conclusion of the investigation in freedom, and since the beginning of the investigations, she has fully cooperated with the competent authorities. We trust in justice and have the conviction that the truth will prevail, reestablishing the reputation and freedom of Lorena Marcondes”.

This is Lorena Marcondes’ second arrest. The first was on May 8, 2023, where she served 15 days of detention at the Floramar Prison, in Divinópolis. She was released from house arrest in August 2023 and has since been free.

At the time of the indictment, in October last year, the responsible delegate, Marcelo Nunes, reported that two qualifiers were found that corroborate the biomedic’s murder indictment.

Also on that occasion, the biomedical lawyer, Tiago Lenoir, highlighted that he received “with some surprise this indictment from the Civil Police for possible intent, for intentional homicide”.
