The 13-year NYPD veteran who was a part of the department\u2019s Internal Affairs Bureau was pronounced dead just over an hour later, sources said.<\/p>\n

Her cause of death was listed as \u201cunspecified cardiac arrest,\u201d the sources added.<\/p>\n

Stone had undergone a liposuction and gluteal fat transfer procedure in the country on Oct. 16, just one week prior, according to the sources.<\/p>\n

She was taking anticoagulants and pain medication as part of her post-operative plan and was transferred to a hotel to recover after the surgery, sources said.<\/p>\n

Her husband, Michael Stone, told the Daily News<\/a> that he intends to request an autopsy and probe what led to her sudden death.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe doctor who called me from Colombia just called me and told me my wife had just passed away,\u201d Michael told the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe didn\u2019t have any information to tell me when I was asking her\u2026.Something just doesn\u2019t add up,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo be called Thursday and told that she passed away, that is just shocking and hurtful,\u201d Michael added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t have the facts, and that\u2019s what I need, the facts of what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Michael recalled that his wife was \u201cperfectly fine\u201d just before her procedure, and had told relatives the day before her death that she was feeling alright.<\/p>\n

A fundraiser for Stone\u2019s family described her as a \u201cloving mother of three, and a dedicated public servant who spent her career protecting and serving others.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAlicia\u2019s kindness, courage, and compassion touched everyone she met, both in and out of uniform. Her unexpected passing has left a tremendous void in the lives of her family, friends, and fellow officers,\u201d the fundraiser said.<\/p>\n

A gluteal fat transfer procedure, known as a Brazilian Butt Lift, or BBL, involves transferring fat from other parts of the body to increase the size of the buttocks, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. <\/a><\/p>\n

Uncommon complications such as a fat embolus, resulting in death, can occur from injecting fat intramuscularly, experts said.<\/p>\n

After Stone\u2019s death, authorities contacted the Colombian National Police, the US State Department, and a consular services official, the outlet reported.<\/p>\n

The husband also claimed that an NYPD detective had been sent to Colombia to look into her death.<\/p>\n
