Taiwanese model dies after receiving ‘milk injection' for insomnia

Published on: Saturday, June 21, 2025 Published on: Sat, Jun 21, 2025 Text Size: TAIPEI: A popular Taiwanese car show model, Cai Yuxin ( pic ), has died after receiving a propofol injection for insomnia at a Taipei clinic, sparking outrage and grief online. The 30-something model, known for her resemblance to actress Lin Chi-ling, underwent the procedure known as a 'milk injection' at Fairy Clinic on May 25. The anaesthetic was administered by Wu Shaohu, the clinic's director and a well-known cosmetic surgeon dubbed Taiwan's 'Godfather of Liposuction.' Wu allegedly left the clinic after the procedure, leaving an unlicensed male assistant to monitor Cai, during which an overdose is suspected due to an error in the drip rate. Cai suffered cardiac and respiratory arrest, and despite efforts via video call CPR and hospitalisation, she remained in a coma for 18 days before life support was withdrawn on June 12. Authorities have opened an investigation into Wu for possible negligence and violation of Taiwan's Medical Care Act, with propofol being tightly regulated for use only by qualified professionals. Advertisement The incident has triggered public anger and debate on medical safety, with many expressing sorrow online and calling for justice. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
