A Rikers Island captain and wife of almost three decades went to the Dominican Republic to get work done on her body and died shortly after the procedure last month.
The plastic surgeon who did the fatal operation, not only fled from the United States after pleading guilty to practicing medicine without a license but was put on blast on social media years ago by Grammy-winning artist Cardi B.
On Saturday, May 14, Tandra Bowser-Williams, an New York City Corrections officer, suffered a “small stroke” just one day after she underwent a fat transfer at Dr. Hector Cabral’s Centro Internacional de Cirugia Plástica Avanzada clinic in Santo Domingo.
Bowser-Williams’ husband of 26 years, Curtis Williams, had planned to fly from NYC to the island to meet his wife at the clinic, but she transitioned before his arrival.
He recalled the 49-year-old telling him on a phone call after the procedure how pleased he would be with the results of that Friday afternoon surgery. Sometime after the call, a nurse from the United Hearts Clinic contacted him to share his wife had suddenly taken ill.
Williams described to the New York Daily News her last words to him, saying, “Her exact words to me were ‘You’re gonna love Dr. Cabral’s work.’ I didn’t care one way or another. I accepted my wife the way she was.”
