London, September 6 — British-Nigerian social media personality Igho "Tiny" Ubiribo passed away following a penis enlargement procedure in Bangkok, Thailand, which allegedly led to a fatal pulmonary embolism, according to a UK coroner's report that the New York Post revealed. The 43-year-old influencer was on vacation in Bangkok with his spouse, Daniella Simba Allen, when he underwent the cosmetic surgery on March 5.
The incident only came to light months after the procedure, as per the New York Post. Postmortem findings indicated that the embolism was triggered by substances employed in the injection. Ubiribo received injections containing hyaluronic acid and the local anesthetic lidocaine. Shortly after, while he and his wife were enjoying a massage, he experienced chest pain and frequent loss of consciousness.
He was rushed to Sukhumvit Hospital, where medical staff found him unresponsive and struggling to converse. His condition rapidly worsened, and he succumbed to a pulmonary embolism before a CT scan could be conducted to identify the cause. Despite more than 100 minutes of CPR efforts, Ubiribo could not be revived. A postmortem conducted under a UK coroner's guidance concluded that hyaluronic acid and lidocaine utilized during the procedure caused the embolism, as reported by TMZ.
Hyaluronic acid fillers are commonly used in cosmetic procedures, including injections aimed at temporarily enlarging the penis. The results typically last for several months, and treatments can cost thousands of dollars. Ubiribo had amassed a significant following online, boasting about 185,000 Instagram followers. He documented a luxurious lifestyle and owned a $1.1 million home in Los Angeles' Crenshaw neighborhood and a London apartment valued at about $600,000.
He married Allen in a grand ceremony in Zimbabwe in 2022. Following his demise, Ubiribo was laid to rest in London in a gold coffin reportedly costing over $700,000.
