A British-Nigerian influencer and businessman lost his life following complications which followed after undergoing a penis enlargement surgery in Thailand.
Details of 43-year-old Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo’s, popularly known as Denisi or Ego, death was recently released following an inquest at Inner West London Coroners’ Court, reported TMZ.
Injected 40ml of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine
According to TMZ, the court heard that Igho and his wife went for a vacation in Thailand in March, where he underwent a surgery which saw 40 milliliters of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine being injected into his penis at an unnamed clinic.
After the procedure, Igho and his wife went for a massage, where Igho suddenly complained of chest pain and fainted twice.
He was then rushed to Sukhumvit Hospital by ambulance and was initially conscious enough to answer some questions.
His wife also told doctors about the filler injections, but Igho passed out before a recommended CT scan could be carried out.
When doctors found that Igho had suffered a pulmonary embolism, where a clot was blocking a blood vessel in the lungs, they transferred him to intensive care and medics performed CPR for more than 100 minutes.
Unfortunately, Igho died on the morning of March 6 and a post-mortem later found cellular material in his lungs matching the hyaluronic acid used in the injection.
Buried in gold coffin
Igho was laid to rest in a gold coffin which was reportedly worth $745,000 (approx. RM3mil), and several celebrities such as Davido and Celebrity Barman Cubana Chief Priest attended his funeral in London.
