US police have arrested a woman they say gave illegal buttocks-enhancing injections, and investigators are examining her possible connection to the death of a UK resident last year.

Padge Victoria Windslowe faces charges including aggravated assault and deceptive practices.

Police in Philadelphia say Windslowe was arrested as she prepared to host a "pumping party" where she would illegally inject clients.

She declined to comment.

Lt John Walker says one of Windslowe's clients had been taken ill after the injection she received on February 19.

Last year, 20-year-old Claudia Aderotimi, a student from London, died after receiving buttocks injections at a hotel near Philadelphia International Airport. No charges were filed.
