Brain damaged after trip to Mexico for plastic surgery

Laura Avila, from Texas, travelled to Mexico for cosmetic procedures including a nose job. Her family says she suffered a cardiac arrest as a result of anaesthesia before surgery. She was then placed into a medically-induced coma.

Her sister Angie has set up a fundraising page to cover Laura's medical bills - and says the family is now praying for a miracle.
