Former Playboy model Tabby Brown, 45, has tragically died just days after returning to the UK following a cosmetic surgery procedure abroad, an inquest has revealed.
Brown, who previously dated footballer Raheem Sterling, and Mario Balotelli traveled to the Dominican Republic in October 2023 for a Brazilian butt-lift and liposuction.
However, within three days of her return to the south London home she shared with her mother, she collapsed and later died due to a “fat embolism,” as reported by MailOnline.
In a statement, they said: 'After Tabby's surgery abroad, she returned to the family home and was cared for by our mother, who was under the impression she had picked up a viral infection whilst travelling.
'Tabby did not inform her mother that she'd had surgery. Generally, Tabby was in good health, she was an avid fitness enthusiast and enjoyed weight training.
'She was a foodie, who in recent years particularly enjoyed baking. Tabby had enjoyed a successful career as a model, having featured in music videos of several well-known British and American artists.
'She was also the face of many ad campaigns for recognised brands.
'She had a big laugh, smile and a personality that charmed many and matched her beauty.
'Close family and close friends take solace from the fact that she experienced many years in which she lived out her dreams
'But we are also saddened by her premature departure, we love and miss Tabby very much and will always keep her memory close to our hearts.'
The inquest heard how police had arrived at the south London home she shared with her mother after she collapsed in the early hours and an ambulance was called.
Tabby was found on the floor, not breathing and her mother Mahasin told police she had returned from a two-week trip to South America just three days earlier.
Within hours of arriving home, Tabby began to feel unwell and the court heard that paramedics found 'two puncture wounds in her pelvis area that confirmed cosmetic surgery.'
