A UK coroner's report details the death of Igho "Tiny" Ubiribo, a 43-year-old British Nigerian influencer who died after undergoing a botched penis enlargement procedure in Thailand on March 5. According to the report, Ubiribo suffered from a pulmonary embolism caused by hyaluronic acid and lidocaine used in the injection, despite doctors performing CPR for over 100 minutes at Sukhumvit Hospital. The influencer, who had around 185,000 Instagram followers, had recently vacationed with his wife in Bangkok and was known for his lavish lifestyle. A postmortem examination concluded that the embolism led to Ubiribo's death, which occurred before a CT scan could be performed to diagnose the condition.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
