NBC Miami Retraction

In an NBC Miami story posted May 18, entitled "Officials: Broward Strax Patient Hospitalized," a Broward County Medical Examiner's report was erroneously cited as concluding that the cause of death of Lidvian Zelaya was "because the physician pumped too much fat into her body, causing her lungs to flood with fat."

 
The Broward County Medical Examiner's report did not make this conclusion regarding Mrs. Zelaya's death. In addition, the report did not state that Mrs. Zelaya's death was a result of any wrongdoing by any physician or Strax personnel.
 
NBC Miami regrets the error and apologizes for its mistake.
