Gulf Coast Confidential with Mollye Barrows

Send us a text

Florida plastic surgeon, Dr. Ben Brown, has been arrested for the untimely death of his young wife, Hillary Brown. The Santa Rosa County Sheriff's Office charged Brown with Second Degree Felony Homicide: Manslaughter by Culpable Negligence.
Investigators say he not only failed to immediately call for help when 33-year-old Hillary went into cardiac arrest in his office surgical chair while he was performing several cosmetic surgeries on her, he allowed her to mix and take her own meds and anesthetic solution, failed to stop when she showed signs of lidocaine toxicity, and did not have life-saving equipment on hand when her heart stopped.
Investigators say it's a pattern of "unsafe" behavior that ultimately led to Hillary Brown's death and her husband's arrest. In the meantime, patients who say Brown botched their surgeries are still coming forward, while the Florida Department of Health calls for penalties against the plastic surgeon.
Brown denies all allegations of wrongdoing.
