Woman Dies After Allegedly Having Illegal Butt Injections in NYC Basement

Police are investigating the death of a 34-year-old woman this weekend after she allegedly received injections into her buttocks while in a basement of a home in Queens, New York.

Authorities are still looking for the person believed to have administered the injections, though police did not give any identifying information to ABC News and an arrest warrant has yet to be issued.

Kelly Mayhew was found unresponsive at the home in Queens on Saturday shortly after a 911 call was made by her mother, according to the New York City Police Department.

What was in the injections Mayhew had and how many she received was not immediately clear, police said, also noting that her initial autopsy was inconclusive. Investigators are unsure if the person believed to be responsible for administering the injections had a medical license or any training, a spokesman for the NYPD said.

The person believed responsible fled the scene after Mayhew started to have difficulty breathing, according to ABC's New York station WABC-TV. Mayhew's mother called 911 and performed CPR, WABC reported, but she could not be revived.

Mayhew was a Maryland-based freelancer for BET, according to WABC. The company later released a statement mourning her death.

"We are saddened by the death of our colleague and friend, Kelly Mayhew. Our hearts go out to her family, and we extend our deepest sympathies for their loss," the company said in its statement.
