Brenisha Hall, 25, died on New Year's Day, after lying in a coma for two months. She was buried in Jan. 11, her death initially ruled a result of natural causes. But nearly five months later, the death of the transgender woman has been ruled a homicide by the Orleans Parish Coroner's office.

Chief Investigator John Gagliano said that Hall died from complications from a silicone injection. "It's a foreign body, and it was injected into her body," Gagliano said. "You can't just walk around and give anyone an injection."

Throw the book at 'em I say. That kind of crap is more predatory than providing a service to the trans community.

Good catch by the Coroner's office BTW.  That could easily have gone unnoticed.
