Carolin 'Sexy Cora' Berger Dead: Porn Star Dies After Sixth Breast Enlargement Surgery (PHOTOS)

First Posted: 01/24/11 08:59 AM ET Updated: 05/25/11 07:25 PM ET

German porn star and "Big Brother" participant Carolin Berger a.k.a. "Sexy Cora" died last Thursday after her sixth breast enlargement operation to go from a 34F to a 34G, Sky News reports. She was 23.

Cora has been in an artificial coma since January 11 at a clinic in Hamburg. Sky News explains, "She went under the knife for the last time at the Alster Clinic and was having 800g (28oz) of silicone injected into each breast. But her heart stopped beating during the operation. She suffered brain damage and was put into an induced coma." Cora's husband Tim Wosnitza remarked, "The doctors told me that she wouldn't make it. The brain damage was too big."

According to CNN, two of the doctors who performed the surgery have been charged with negligent manslaughter. The clinic released a statement saying it is giving "full and complete support" to investigators:

"As matters stand currently a defect in the anesthetizing device can be ruled out....The claim that the monitoring could have given readings other than the actual vital functions of the patient has nothing to do with the facts and has no connection to reality. [....] Erroneous behavior by the doctors is unproven and at this point just an 'assessment' by one of the emergency medical personnel who'd brought [Cora] to the University Clinic Hamburg."

Sky News notes, Cora had her five previous surgeries in Poland at a clinic that refused to see her again for a sixth time.

Relatedly, Sheyla Hershey, the woman with the world's biggest breasts (size 38M), had doctors remove her four implants and much of her natural tissue last year in order to save her life from staph and strep infections.

Just pathetic and nasty. Huge breasts are DISGUSTING. If they're part of a woman naturally, that's one thing. Generally the rest of the body will be sized accordingly. But artificially huge breasts are just... UGH! Just what I want to see, big saggy bags of suet dragging on the floor when her bra's taken off.

Since they've already ruled out the gas, I think there's very little the doctors would have done to cause this. It's very sad though.

We always want what we don't have. I want reduction surgery, but have opted not to risk it. Guess I will never understand outrageous enhancements. :(

What hurts me the most is that she looked in the mirror and decided that she needed more surgery....for what? Looking at these pictures she seems like alot of fun and naturally beauiful underneath all that paint & sillicone.

If only Hollyweird would stop shoving this plastic sugery obsession down our throats...

I'm sorry but when your breast size gets past a DD un-naturally You are asking for some major health issues....if nothing else, back problems from carrying them. At a natural 42 D I can't understand why some woman would do something so completely crazy, and I have to question the sanity of any doctor who would go along with such a harebrained unnecessary surgery. What is wrong with women these days?

Now how many people can say "I died for porn". I don't know about the guys, but it does seem like not all of her guns were firing.

It's the culture we live in. Boys and girls alike grow up with a certain image they think they need to be and in this case she was probably always around other women with huge boobs. It's the same reason women pluck, shave, diet or use botox and the same can be said about men. Deep down we all really want to be love for the beauty we have within.

Why do these women go to such length, all for the sake of vanity? It's not worth your life!

Not so much vanity as money and fame.

For the same reason women will starve themselves and workout like hell: Because that's what people want women to be. Thin with huge breasts. Most women would rather look "good", or what is supposedly the preference, then be healthy or alive. A lot would rather be dead than be "fat" or have no chest.

This is mass insanity! Why do woman feel the need to distort their bodies to a cartoonish and freakish standard? I fear for my daughters.

In this case, the need was to help her career. Not something all that common, so I wouldn't fear for your daughters.

Women should consider the possibility that they don't need cosmetic surgery. At least consider it with an open mind.
