A well-known businessman and influencer has died after a penis enlargement surgery went horribly wrong.<\/p>\n

Igho \u201cTiny\u201d Ubiriro, 43, underwent the procedure earlier this year at an unidentified clinic in Bangkok, Thailand, according to TMZ.<\/p>\n

It is believed Ubiriro had 40mm of lidocaine and hyaluronic acid injected into his penis during the procedure, an inquest at the Inner West London Coroners\u2019 Court was told.<\/p>\n

After the procedure, the British-Nigerian influencer went for a massage at a hotel with his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, when he began to experience chest pain.<\/p>\n

He then passed out twice, and was rushed to hospital for scans.<\/p>\n

Doctors found a clot blocking a blood vessel in Ubiriro\u2019s lungs, known as a pulmonary embolism, before he completely lost consciousness.<\/p>\n

CPR was administered for almost two hours before Ubiriro was declared dead.<\/p>\n

An autopsy found the hyaluronic acid which had been injected into the influencer\u2019s penis had migrated to his lungs, causing the embolism.<\/p>\n

He was farewelled by friends and family at a funeral ceremony in London in late May.<\/p>\n

The BBC reports the penis enlargement industry is largely unregulated worldwide, and does not require medical qualification as with many cosmetic procedures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A well-known businessman and influencer has died after a penis enlargement surgery went horribly wrong.
