According to The SunNigeria website, Igho “Tiny” Ubiribo, known as Ego, died in Thailand in March after undergoing a procedure involving the injection of 40 millilitres of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine, an inquest in London was told last month.

Ubiribo reportedly developed chest pain and collapsed twice while receiving a massage from his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, shortly after the procedure. He was taken by ambulance to Sukhumvit Hospital, where doctors found a blood clot blocking blood flow to the lungs.

A post-mortem examination in the UK found cellular material in his lungs consistent with the hyaluronic acid administered during the procedure. The findings supported the conclusion that the injection had resulted in a blood clot.

The coroner recorded the death as being caused by a pulmonary embolism following the injection of hyaluronic acid into the penis, concluding that Ubiribo had died “as the result of a cosmetic procedure abroad”.
