A 50-year old woman has been arrested in connection with the death of OnlyFans model Christina Ashten Gourkani, known for her resemblance to reality TV superstar, Kim Kardashian.
Gourkani, also known as Ashten G, died on April 20 at the age of 34 after suffering cardiac arrest.
According to multiple reports in the US, Vivian Gomez, was arrested within a matter of hours after landing at Fort Lauderdale Airport, near her Florida home.
Gomez now faces being extradited to California where she faces two felony charges related to the incident – namely involuntary manslaughter and practising medicine without a licence resulting in great bodily harm.
She is currently being held without bail and is due in court on May 22.

According to Daily Post, California District Attorney Steve Wagstaffe alleges Gomez gave Gourkani “several injections” of silicone in her buttocks in a hotel room in Burlingame. His office claimed Gourkani underwent the procedure in a bid to appear even more like her idol Kardashian, 42.
The family of Gourkani, who boasted 600,000 Instagram followers at the time of her death, have since established a GoFundMe page to help with funeral costs.
A statement from the family read: “In the early morning hours at approximately 4:31am on 4/20/2023 our family received a tragic phone call from a family member who was frantically screaming and crying histaricaly [sic] on the other end of the line….Ashten is dying…Ashten is dying…A phone call that instantly shattered our world and will forever haunt our family for the rest of our lives.”
The family spokesperson then described the “living nightmare” of watching Christina’s health decline following her cardiac arrest.
They described her as “such a caring and loving free spirit that always took the time to bring a smile to anyone’s face she crossed paths with”.
Ending the tribute, they wrote: “Christina Ashten Gourkani you will forever be our guardian angel.”
Fellow model, Mary Magdalene wrote of Christina: “I don’t know her, [but] I would always just randomly see her on Instagram and think she was really pretty but that is so sad she just died from plastic surgery.
“It is so scary because you really just never know when you’re going to die from [risky surgery].”
The family are hoping to raise $40,000 for Christina’s funeral, meanwhile.
