An autopsy later confirmed that Laniado died from cardiac hypertrophy, a condition involving an enlarged heart.

A search of his hotel room revealed he had been taking multiple substances banned in France, along with vasodilators commonly used to treat erectile dysfunction. According to judicial sources, these substances are believed to have contributed to his death.

Ah, so it had nothing to do with the procedure, dude was on a cocktail of his own drugs, didn't tell the doctor, had a heart attack.

So, if it was anyones fault, it was the pathetic billionaires fault. Also anyone who gets rich from diamonds is always, 100%, a scumbag.

He shouldn't have gotten the heart enlargement surgery

Ahh, cocaine and Cialis. A classic combo for cardiac catastrophe

Solid alliteration

AFAIK it’s not a dangerous combination. The cialis relieves some of the vasoconstriction from the cocaine.

It's honestly really sad for the surgeon. Before undergoing surgery the patient must disclose everything that could make complications on the operation for a reason, a doctor does not care what crimes the patient commits and won't have a reason to snitch, but not knowing the patient using banned substances that affect surgery could lead to life altering (and in this case outright ending it) problems.

Well, the "lead" surgeon wasn't even licenced to practice medicine in France, so it's kinda hard to feel bad for him
