Payman Simoni, 50, was wearing a mask last month as he performed the elective procedure on the woman, who had filled out a COVID questionnaire and had her temperature checked — though she was not tested for the virus, TMZ reported.
She contacted the doc’s office a few days later to report that she later tested positive for the deadly bug, according to the outlet.
Simoni, who went into quarantine, was later hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where he was placed on a ventilator after experiencing a variety of symptoms, including shortness of breath, according to TMZ
Sources told the outlet that Simoni was eventually placed in a medically induced coma before dying of a brain hemorrhage on Friday
The patient told the outlet that he had been instructed to get a COVID test and tested negative beforehand
