A British Nigerian influencer died following a botched penis enlargement procedure in Thailand, according to a UK coroner’s report.
Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo, 43, was vacationing in Bangkok with his wife, Daniella Simba Allen, when he underwent the procedure on March 5.
Afterward, while the couple was receiving a massage, Ubiribo began to complain of chest pain and suffered repeated loss of consciousness before being transported to Sukhumvit Hospital, according to TMZ.
At the hospital, Ubiribo was unable to respond to questions coherently — and he ultimately died of a pulmonary embolism before staff could perform a CT scan to diagnose it.
TMZ reported that doctors performed CPR on him for more than 100 minutes.
A UK coroner’s postmortem examination determined that the hyaluronic acid and lidocaine used in the injection caused the embolism.
Ubiribo, who had approximately 185,000 Instagram followers, was known for his lavish lifestyle.
He owned a $1.1 million home in Los Angeles’ Crenshaw neighborhood and a $600,000 apartment in London.
Ubiribo and Allen were married in an elaborate ceremony in Zimbabwe in 2022.
Following his death, Ubiribo was buried in London in a gold coffin costing upwards of $745,000.
Hyaluronic acid penile fillers can cost up to $9,000 and typically last between six and nine months.
The Inner West London Coroner’s Court did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for the postmortem report.
