The man died 10 days after undergoing gastric bypass surgery at Dr. Khaidarov's IQ Plastique facility.

On February 20, he called an ambulance and complained of pain in the chest and abdomen. He also told doctors that he had difficulty breathing. The producer refused hospitalisation and his condition deteriorated soon afterwards. He fell into a coma and died.
According to preliminary data, the man died of blood poisoning after gastric resection. Gavrilov's relatives claim that the infection was contracted to him during the surgery.
The relatives of the deceased hold Timur Khaidarov responsible for Pyotr Gavrilov's death and intend to sue the surgeon.
