A Mexican beauty influencer, Adriana Garcia, 30, died on Tuesday following complications during a suspected cosmetic procedure at a private clinic in the state of Sinaloa. Local media outlets, including El Universal, cited preliminary reports regarding her death.
Garcia was a popular internet creator with nearly 50,000 followers on Instagram and over 45,000 on TikTok, where she focused on lifestyle, travel, and beauty content. She was also the mother of a six-year-old daughter, frequently featured in her social media posts. In April, Garcia celebrated her 30th birthday, noting the recent loss of her father and grandfather in an Instagram post expressing gratitude for life.
The Sinaloa Secretary of Health, Cuitlahuac Gonzalez Galindo, stated Wednesday that his office had no immediate information about the incident but confirmed an investigation has been launched. The specific cosmetic procedure that led to Garcia's death has not been publicly disclosed, and authorities have not yet confirmed the official cause of death.
Drop Shop, an online luxury accessory retailer and a partner of Garcia's, confirmed her death in an Instagram tribute, remembering her "human quality, her dedication and the moments we shared." Her online community expressed grief in the comments sections of her social media posts, with many sending condolences to her daughter and family.
