Other scars, abrasions, and bruises were found on her arms, legs, shoulders, and head.Whitney was assumed to have had cosmetic surgery due to the marks on her stomach and upper thigh. A needle mark was spotted on her inner left elbow. A wig seamlessly integrated into her natural hair exuding luster. Despite her full, black, and wavy hair showing no signs of balding, her eyebrows were thin.
