Maryland woman dies in Queens basement after silicone butt lift

A Maryland woman who adored bootylicious Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj died after receiving butt injections in a Queens basement by a quack doctor who fled the scene, police said Tuesday.

Kelly Mayhew, 34, succumbed to the botched procedure after driving with her mother to Far Rockaway from Maryland on Saturday.

“Her death just came out of nowhere,” said family friend Kem Harris.

According to Nydailynews, Mayhew’s doomed trip to New York ended in a basement apartment in a two-family home on Dickens St. that doubled as the phony plastic surgeon’s office. She and her mother had arrived at the home about 5 p.m.
Mayhew started gurgling and struggling to breathe after the bogus doctor injected silicone into her, her mother told police.

The frantic mom sprang into action — performing CPR on her fading daughter and demanding the “doctor” call 911. Instead, the suspect grabbed her keys, ran out of the house and sped away in a gray SUV, sources said. The mother called 911 herself. By the time cops arrived at 6:50 p.m., paramedics were already there performing CPR.

Mayhew — a freelancer for the BET Networks who boasted online about her curves — was taken to St. John’s Episcopal Hospital, where she died.
Detectives were hunting for the unidentified suspect.
