SAN DIEGO (Reuters) -- A 45-year-old transgender woman who received illegal silicone injections at a party in a private home in San Diego has died after nearly a month on life support, the county medical examiner said Monday.

Patricio Gonzalez, who police said received silicone injections to her hips, buttocks, cheeks and lips, died Sunday. Gonzalez and at least nine other people were injected at a so-called "pumping party" on June 19, police said.
