A 34-year-old mum has died after a liquid Brazilian Butt Lift operation in the UK, sparking a police investigation. Alice Delsie Preete Webb died on Monday (September 23) following the celebrity-style procedure.

The mum-of-five, who was from Gloucester and worked as a beauty therapist, had been taken to hospital after becoming unwell. However she sadly died after undergoing the procedure, which sees injecting hyaluronic acid and dermal fillers into the backside, reports MirrorOnline.

Two people have now been arrested by police, the county's force said. Alice ran her own beauty business in the West Country. She leaves behind her partner Dane Knight and their children Delsie, 15, Preete, 13, Gracie 12, Nylie, 10 and Clarie, seven.

It's understood the young mum is the first Brit to pass away after having a non-surgical BBL. A force spokesperson for Gloucestershire Police stated: "Two people have been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following the death of a woman in her 30s in Gloucester. Police had been called by the ambulance service at around 11.35pm on Monday (September 23) with a report a woman had become unwell following a suspected cosmetic procedure.

"She was taken to Gloucestershire Royal Hospital and died in the early hours of Tuesday morning. Her next of kin and the coroner are aware. The woman's family are being supported by specially trained officers. An investigation, led by the Major Crime Investigation Team, is ongoing. The two people who had been arrested have been released on police bail."

Last night Alice’s partner Dane posted online: “Want to say a heartfelt thank you..including [for] all of the kind messages sent to my children. Please, please have these five girls’ feelings at heart here.” Alice’s friend Abi Irwin described the young mum as a "beautiful person inside and out."

She said: "Alice passed away on Monday evening after having a BBL treatment which had gone wrong. [She] had the biggest heart, her family was her world - it is a difficult and heartbreaking time for them all." BBLs - both surgical and non-surgical - carry the highest risk of all cosmetic surgeries - with more than one death occurring per 4,000 procedures.
