Nigerian-British businessman dies after penis enlargement procedure in Thailand

A Nigerian-British businessman, Igho Ubiribo, passed away following a penis enlargement procedure he underwent in Thailand while on a luxury holiday with his wife. The Daily Mail reported that the procedure caused a fatal pulmonary embolism. Ubiribo, also known as "Tiny," "Denisi," and "Ego," was injected with 40 milliliters of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine at an unnamed clinic in Thailand.

After the procedure, he experienced chest pain and passed out twice during a hotel massage. He was taken to Sukhumvit Hospital but died in the intensive care unit after losing consciousness before a CT scan could be performed. Postmortem findings confirmed the presence of hyaluronic acid in his lungs, consistent with the filler used during the procedure.

The coroner ruled that Ubiribo died from a pulmonary embolism caused by the cosmetic treatment. Ubiribo, a social media influencer with over 185,000 Instagram followers, was known for his lavish lifestyle and was married to fashion designer Danielle Simba Allen. He was buried in a gold coffin in London, with the cost of the funeral estimated at over $600,000.

The case has raised awareness about the risks associated with cosmetic penis enlargement procedures using injectable fillers.
