Porn star dies after sixth breast surgery
A 23-year-old German porn actress died having suffered a fatal heart attack following her sixth breast operation, the agency reports.
Almaty. January 24. Kazakhstan Today - A 23-year-old German porn actress died having suffered a fatal heart attack following her sixth breast operation, the agency reports.
"Sexy Cora," a 23-year-old porn actress and former Big Brother reality television star was in a coma for nine days after complications during the operation to increase her breast size from an F to a G cup, according to German media reports Friday.
She died Thursday at the Hamburg University Hospital, leading to an investigation into the Hamburg plastic surgery clinic where she received the breast operation, Foxnews reported.
"The brain damage was too great. Her blood pressure dropped steadily, physiological functions gave out ... then she went to sleep quietly," husband Tim Wosnitza told the German newspaper Bild.
German police are investigating the 54-year-old anesthesiologist and the 49-year-old surgeon who performed the operation on suspicion of negligent homicide.
Stern magazine said Sexy Cora's death also raised serious questions for the TV executives who seek out wannabe stars prepared to go under the knife for their art, saying the case "casts a harsh light on the trash industry."
"How far are private television and the stars of reality TV prepared to go in order to gain attention for themselves and their bodies? What dangers are they taking on?"
Cora appeared in the tenth season of the German edition of Big Brother last year, and received a "Best Amateur 2010" award at the Venus erotic industry trade fair.

Scientists have reported a possible acceleration of melting of Antarctic ice shelves

Antarctica's ice shelves may be collapsing faster than current climate models predict. This is stated in a study published in the journal Nature Communications, iz.ru reports.
The processes leading to the melting of ice shelves under the influence of the ocean have not been sufficiently studied, which leads to uncertainty in forecasts of sea level rise," the publication says.
This is the conclusion reached by scientists who have discovered a new oceanic mechanism that enhances melting even in the cold waters of East Antarctica. According to forecasts, by the end of the 21st century, the level of the world's oceans will rise by several tens of centimeters, but with high emissions, it is possible to rise to 5 m by 2150.
It is noted that the key role is played by basal channels - elongated depressions under glaciers up to hundreds of meters deep. Modeling under the Fimbulisen ice shelf has shown that even moderate intrusions of warm deep waters create self-organizing patterns of enhanced melting.
Floating warm waters, entering the channels, enhance the local destruction of ice. This means that even cold and fresh cavities under glaciers can be vulnerable, the researchers explained.
