The Hong Kong tycoon family of a 34-year-old woman who died during plastic surgery has withdrawn its lawsuit against a South Korean clinic, saying the threat of legal action had fulfilled its aim of forcing police into action.

Danny Chi revealed the move on Monday afternoon after his wife Bonnie Evita Law died during liposuction and breast augmentation procedures in Seoul’s upscale Gangnam district on January 28.

Chi filed the lawsuit on behalf of the family in a South Korean court last Friday against the Ollim Plastic Surgery dermatological clinic, two of its doctors and a nurse for alleged manslaughter and forging pre-surgery documents.

Law’s grandfather was late textile tycoon Law Ting-pong who founded the Bossini clothing chain.

She was one of three children fathered by Raymond Law Ka-kui, the late magnate’s youngest son and a property investor who was involved in some of the city’s biggest development projects.
