Nigerian-British businessman Igho Ubiribo, 43, died after suffering a pulmonary embolism following a penis enlargement procedure in Thailand, according to UK coroner Jean Harkin. Ubiribo, also known as "Tiny", "Denisi", and "Ego", was on a luxury holiday in Bangkok with his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, when he decided to undergo the cosmetic procedure in March.
During an intimate massage at their Marriott hotel, Ubiribo complained of chest pain and passed out twice before being taken to Sukhumvit Hospital. Despite medical staff performing CPR for over 100 minutes, Ubiribo died early the next morning.
Postmortem findings revealed cellular material consistent with hyaluronic acid, the substance used in the penis filler, in Ubiribo's lungs. The coroner ruled that the procedure caused the fatal pulmonary embolism, which can be life-threatening when a blood vessel supplying the lungs becomes blocked, restricting blood flow and placing severe strain on the heart.
Ubiribo's primary care doctor in London reported that he had pre-diabetes, gout, and a history of joint surgery but no other significant medical conditions. However, the use of hyaluronic acid fillers in penis enlargement procedures can carry serious complications, including those that can be fatal.
