A coroner’s inquest in London has determined that the death of 43-year-old British-Nigerian businessman and influencer Igho Ubiribo was the result of a fatal pulmonary embolism. The medical complication followed a cosmetic procedure he underwent while on vacation in Bangkok, Thailand, in March 2026.

Evidence presented at the Inner West London Coroners’ Court revealed that Mr. Ubiribo received 40 milliliters of a mixture containing hyaluronic acid and lidocaine during the procedure at an unnamed clinic. Following the treatment, he visited a massage parlor with his wife, Danielle Simba Allen, where he began experiencing severe chest pain and lost consciousness on two separate occasions.

Medical Complications and Inquest Findings

Emergency services transported Mr. Ubiribo to Sukhumvit Hospital in Bangkok, where medical staff identified a pulmonary embolism, a condition characterized by a blockage in a blood vessel within the lungs. Despite being moved to intensive care and receiving over 100 minutes of cardiopulmonary resuscitation, he was pronounced dead in the early hours of March 6.
