A 22-year-old popular U.S exotic dancer, Daysha Phillips, a popularly called Mulani Mulan, has been reported dead, days after she and three other women received illegal buttock injections in a hotel room near Lambert Airport.
Her family said she felt ill almost immediately after the procedure and died four days later.
"The victim went into respiratory distress, it was determined by family members what had occurred, that could have led up to it. They added two and two together and we were notified," said Chief Miklos Hurocy of the Edmundson Police Department.
Police said they do not yet know how much Phillips and the three other women paid to get the injections in a hotel room at the Drury Inn in Edmundson, or what exact substance was injected into the women.
It could be up to three weeks before the St. Louis County Medical Examiner's Office can determine what was injected into Phillips.
Meanwhile, police are working to gather information from the surviving victims and to track down any suspects from the hotel's surveillance footage.
"We're trying to look at photographs, videos and identify suspects in the case. Now we're just trying to follow the leads that we have," said Chief Hurocy.
