An unlicensed spa operator from the Bronx turned himself in after a grand jury charged him with second-degree murder following the death of a 27-year-old patient, Elizabeth Baron. Luis Rojas Cabrera, 55, faced additional charges after the city’s medical examiner ruled Baron’s death a homicide, according to the New York Post.
The case comes after Baron visited Bereshit Lifestyle Center on Riverdale Avenue with her mother on for an anti-aging NAD injection. Air accidentally entered the IV line during the procedure, putting Baron into sudden cardiac arrest before she died at a nearby hospital. Investigators found that Cabrera claimed to be a doctor, but he only holds an esthetician license in the United States.
