A British-Nigerian businessman and influencer, Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo, popularly known as Denisi or Ego, has died after undergoing a penis enlargement procedure in Thailand.
He was on a luxury trip with his wife in the Asian nation.
Igho, 43, reportedly had 40 millilitres of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine injected into his penis at a clinic in Bangkok in March, an inquest at Inner West London Coroners’ Court revealed.
After the procedure, he and his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, reportedly went for a massage, where he complained of chest pain and collapsed twice.
He was rushed to Sukhumvit Hospital, where doctors diagnosed him with a pulmonary embolism, a blood clot blocking an artery in the lungs.
Medics reportedly performed CPR for more than 100 minutes, but Igho died in the early hours of March 6.
A postmortem examination in the UK reportedly found cellular material in his lungs matching the hyaluronic acid used during the procedure.
Coroner Jean Harkin subsequently ruled that Igho died from a pulmonary embolism caused by the cosmetic procedure.
Igho, who had about 185,000 Instagram followers, was known for his lavish lifestyle. He was buried in London in a reported $745,000 gold coffin, with Nigerian stars including Davido and Cubana Chief Priest among those who attended his funeral.
