Tummy Tuck Mishap in Mexico Ends in Fatal Kidnapping

Four Americans, including Latavia McGee, traveled to Matamoros, Mexico, for cosmetic surgery, but were caught in the crossfire of a Mexican cartel. Two of the friends were killed, and McGee and Eric Williams were held captive for four days. Officials believe the friends were taken by mistake, and the incident has drawn attention to the violence in Mexico and the practice of medical tourism. Despite the risks, tens of thousands of Americans, mostly women, travel to Mexico each year for cheaper cosmetic procedures.
