Thailand investigates after British influencer dies following penis enlargement operation

The case has reignited debate about medical tourism, with Thailand a leading destination for visitors from abroad seeking healthcare, including cosmetic procedures.

Bangkok authorities are investigating a clinic where a British man died following a penis enlargement procedure. Nigerian-born businessman Igho Ubiribo, 43, underwent the treatment at a central Bangkok clinic on March 5. He died the following morning after experiencing chest pains and collapsing, reportedly due to a hyaluronic acid injection.

The British coroner ruled that the cause of death was the injection, which was given during a single session after Ubiribo had previously undergone four similar procedures. Thai health officials are reviewing whether the clinic holds a valid license and adhered to safety protocols.
