A
doctor has been convicted of involuntary manslaughter following the death of a
porn star who suffered a heart attack while undergoing her sixth breast
enlargement operation.
German
Carolin Wosnitza, 23, who performed under the stage name 'Sexy Cora', died
after going under the knife to boost her breasts from a size 34F to a 34G.
An
anaesthesiologist was today found guilty at a court in Hamburg of failing to
ensure Ms Wosnitza had enough oxygen during the surgery in 2011.

The
56 year old female doctor, known only as M.F., was given a 15-month suspended
sentence after being convicted of involuntary manslaughter, the dpa news agency
reported.
During
the trial M.F. had told the court she took responsibility for the porn star's
death, it said.
Mrs
Wosnitza, who appeared on the German version of reality show Big Brother, was
put into an induced coma following serious complications during her breast
enhancement surgery two years ago.
Her
family were called to the hospital in Hamburg, north Germany, where they were
told she had been without oxygen for a period of 15 minutes during the
operation, and was in a 'serious condition'.
The
heavily tattooed adult actress died nine days later, and an investigation was
launched into the clinic.
A
judge at Hamburg district court described the events that unfolded at the
clinic as 'a nightmare', according to thelocal.de.

Rejecting
calls to ban the anesthesiologist from practicing in the future, the judge told
her the incident was 'a unique, albeit terrible mistake that you made'.
He
said she had failed to correctly monitor the 23-year-old's breathing, and that
a long period elapsed before she realized there was a problem.
The
judge also criticized conditions at the clinic where the botched surgery took
place.
Mrs
Wosnitza's widower had claimed the doctor turned off the alarm on the breathing
monitor during his wife's surgery to avoid being distracted.
