In a tragic case highlighting the dangers of unregulated cosmetic procedures, a California woman has been found guilty of manslaughter in the death of actress Syndiana Santangelo. Libbie Adam was convicted of second-degree murder and unauthorized medical practice after administering illegal silicone injections to enhance the actress’s buttocks in March 2025.
The court heard how Santangelo suffered fatal complications after receiving the injections from Adam, who had no medical license. The silicone entered the actress’s bloodstream, causing embolism and leading to her death. Prosecutors presented evidence including text messages between the two women and Adam’s inconsistent statements about her involvement.
