Woman Dies After Injecting Face With Hot Beef Fat

An Illinois woman died after injecting the areas around her mouth and chin with hot beef fat. If that's not odd enough, CBS Chicago explains this wasn't her first time dabbling with face injections.

But this time, Hardt went to the hospital after complaining that her face became singed and felt like it was burning, according to the source. She has previously undergone multiple facial surgeries, the source said.

Did we miss an episode of E! News about hot beef fat beauty secrets? Perhaps this trick was learned on the Food Network but is it supposed to make a person appear younger? Does the fat of a cow make a woman look like the young calf girl she once was? Does it work just as well if a woman just dips some bread into the fat and dabs it on her face? Maybe a little Au Jus under the eyes to conceal bags?

If anyone knows what this injection was supposed to accomplish we'd love to hear about it in the comments. Also feel free to share any hot beef fat recipes/beauty tips.
