British-Nigerian Influencer Igho Ubiribo Dies After Cosmetic Procedure in Thailand
Igho "Tiny" Ubiribo, a 43-year-old British-Nigerian influencer and businessman, died in March 2026 after a penis enlargement procedure in Thailand caused a fatal pulmonary embolism. He received 40 milliliters of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine injections at an unnamed clinic, later experiencing chest pain and fainting during a massage. Despite over 100 minutes of CPR at Sukhumvit Hospital, he died early March 6. A UK postmortem confirmed hyaluronic acid in his lungs, with the coroner attributing his death to the cosmetic procedure. Ubiribo was known for his affluent lifestyle and properties in Los Angeles and London.
