Ex-soccer Colin Hendry’s wife dies after operation to repair botched cosmetic surgery

The wife of professional soccer player Colin Hendry died today after her family made the heartbreaking decision to take her off life-support machine.

Forty-two year old Denise Hendry had been in a coma for weeks after she was given an epidural anesthetic before surgery to repair a botched cosmetic surgery.

It is believed that this surgery was to be the last of several to repair the original damage of a liposuction procedure that went wrong seven years ago.

Hendry had suffered nine punctures to her bowel and colon, causing blood poisoning and multiple organ failure and needed a 16-hour operation in May as part of the recovery process.

The liposuction was done in April 2002 by Swedish cosmetic surgeon Gustav Aniansson at the private Broughton Park Hospital.
