British influencer dies after undergoing penis enlargement in Thailand

  • Thai health authorities have launched an investigation into a clinic in Bangkok following the death of British influencer Igho Ubiribo, who died from complications linked to a penile filler injection.
  • The 43-year-old businessman, popularly known as Denisi, died on 6 March after receiving 40ml of hyaluronic acid filler during his fifth enlargement procedure at the Pathumwan district clinic.
  • A UK coroner's inquest found that Ubiribo collapsed after experiencing chest pain hours after the procedure, with a post-mortem concluding he died from a pulmonary embolism and complications from the injection.
  • Thai health minister Pattana Phromphat stated that officials are examining the clinic's licensing and compliance with safety standards to ensure fairness and maintain confidence in Thailand's medical care.
  • The case is being submitted to the Medical Council of Thailand to assess whether professional standards were met, drawing significant attention to the country's large medical tourism sector.
