Did LIDOCAINE used in a liposuction procedure cause the death of Florida woman?

A Florida woman died after liposuction procedure.  The death may have been caused by a bad reaction to lidocaine given during the liposuction procedure.

Apparently the lidocaine given during the surgery caused her to have a seizure and cardiac arrest, plunging her into a coma that left her brain dead. The thirty-seven year old woman was on life support two weeks.

Authorities are still investigating the cause of death.
