Nigerian content creator Igho "Tiny" Ubiribo died in Bangkok on March 6, less than 24 hours after receiving hyaluronic acid injections for penis enlargement. The Independent reports that inquest findings linked his death to complications from the injection and a pulmonary embolism—a blood clot in the lungs—after he collapsed and received more than 100 minutes of CPR.
Thailand's Ministry of Public Health has opened an investigation into whether the clinic followed required medical standards. Newsposl reports that the clinic claims Ubiribo ignored medical advice to split the treatment into two sessions and insisted on completing it in one visit.
What Happened During the Procedure
Medical records reviewed during the inquest show Ubiribo received 40 milliliters of hyaluronic acid combined with lidocaine during the single session. The Independent reports he later collapsed multiple times while receiving a massage from his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, before being rushed to Sukhumvit Hospital.
Doctors at the hospital identified a massive blood clot blocking blood flow to his lungs. The clot required more than 100 minutes of CPR before Ubiribo died from complications linked to the injection and resulting pulmonary embolism.
Clinic Claims Patient Rejected Split Treatment Plan
The clinic told Thai investigators that a doctor advised splitting the filler procedure into two sessions for safety. Newsposl reports the clinic stated that Ubiribo requested the entire treatment be completed in one visit instead.
The clinic also said Ubiribo had received five previous treatments there and signed consent forms before each visit. It provided aftercare instructions following each treatment, according to the clinic's account to authorities.
Thailand Launches Medical Standards Investigation
Thailand's Ministry of Public Health is reviewing whether the clinic followed required medical standards and proper procedures. The Independent reports authorities inspected the clinic on September 7 as part of their investigation.
Thai officials have not publicly identified the clinic. Health and drug regulators have been directed to conduct a full review of the case to determine if any violations occurred.
