Will Elsa Then, be arrest for giving her friend silicone injections that killed her?
No reports indicate she has been arrested
Background:
"'Hey, why you do that? Stop doing that.' She'd tell me, 'Oh let me do this a little bit,'" Fausto Rodriguez told CBS 2 HD.
And the 43-year old tried to keep her injections secret, especially since they were allegedly being administered by her unlicensed friend, Elsa Then.
"She trusted this lady so health-wise, no worries," said Kelvin Rodriguez, the victim's son.
But the worries became real on March 16 when the family says the woman then paid a visit.
"I seen the lady and her preparing. What I saw was the towel," Kelvin Rodriguez said.
Mother and friend went to the bedroom, where behind closed doors, another injection, this one to the thigh, took place. But then hours later something started to happen to Pichardo.
"She told me she got problems with her chest, breathing and then she told me she wanted to go the hospital," Fausto Rodriguez said.
Pichardo was rushed to the hospital but died the next morning of what the medical examiner's officer said was a silicone pulmonary embolism, caused by so much silicone injected that it was clotting in her lungs.
CBS 2 HD caught up with Elsa Then, who told us she's a cosmetologist and that she was questioned by police. When asked if she does silicone injections, she said, "No, never."
CBS2 HD: "You're telling me you never injected this woman, in the thighs, in the buttocks?"
Then: "Yes, I never did."
Then admitted to knowing Pichardo and even visiting her in the hospital, a place where the family says Then could have told doctors about the injection, but never did.
