Morris was held responsible
for the death of Shatarka Nuby, 31, who died in federal prison in 2012 after
receiving 10 injections from the 'toxic tush doctor.' Nuby was determined to
have died from respiratory failure caused by the silicone used in Morris's
procedures.

A transgender Florida woman
known as the 'toxic tush doctor' was sentenced to 10 years in prison and five
years probation on Monday after injecting a female patient's buttocks with
ingredients that caused her death.
O'Neal Morris, 36, had been
accused of injecting patients with a mixture of Fix-a-Flat, cement, silicone,
mineral oil and Super Glue to give women butt injections ,WSVN reported.
She pleaded no contest to
manslaughter and practicing medicine without a license following the death of
Shatarka Nuby, 31, who died in federal prison in 2012 after receiving the
injections.
Morris, who was sentenced
in a Broward County court, had said that she and Nuby were close friends and
told the court: 'I would never do that. So, please don't listen to the lies.
Please do not listen to what they're reporting, because it's not.'
She claimed that she never
'injected any human with any type of unknown substance.'
Nuby's mother told Morris in
court: 'What you took from me that was a precious jewel.'
Under the plea deal she
could have received up to 15 years in prison.
Morris, who was born a man
but identifies as a woman, will serve her sentence in a men's prison. Florida
law does not make exceptions for transgender people.
Nuby passed away from acute
and chronic respiratory failure reportedly caused by the silicone used in the
procedure while serving time in a Tallahassee prison.
She had underwent around 10
illegal treatments from Morris to enhance her buttocks, hips, thighs and
breasts. Her treatments cost $2,000.
Morris was previously
sentenced to a year in prison by a Miami-Dade court in 2013.
She was first arrested by
police on November 18, 2011, after a 'patient' came forward claiming she had
entered a toxic concoction into her backside.
Morris reportedly sealed
her injections with cotton balls and super glue.
During a police
investigation into Morris's alleged illegal surgeries, more than 30 people from
across the US reportedly came forward with claims they were scammed by the
bogus doctor.
One 'patient', Rajee
Narinesingh, accused Morris of making her 'into a monster' after she received
several procedures from the 'doctor' in 2005.
Narinesingh, a transgender
woman, wanted fuller lips, cheeks and chin, but could not afford an operation
by a licensed plastic surgeon, using medical silicone.
She said she had heard
about the 'fake doctor' by word of mouth through the transgender community.
