Brown's sister, Leanne, expressed her outrage in an interview with ITV, condemning the clinic as a "pop-up butcher shop." She was shocked to receive an envelope of cash and a flight ticket home upon learning of her sister's death. Leanne described how Kaydell had been excited before the surgery, but just ten hours later, she was informed of her sister's death while still waiting for her to return from surgery.

Leanne claimed she was denied access to Kaydell’s body and was sent back to the airport the next day. When Kaydell's body was finally returned to the UK, a coroner discovered that significant parts of her brain, lungs, and heart were missing. Leanne criticized the clinic for their lack of cooperation, which she believes could hinder determining the exact cause of death.
