The 43-year-old British-Nigerian businessman had 40 milliliters of hyaluronic acid and lidocaine injected into his penis at an unnamed Thai clinic in March, an inquest at Inner West London Coroner’s Court heard.

After the procedure, the couple went for a massage, where Igho complained of chest pain and fainted twice. He was taken by ambulance to Sukhumvit hospital and was initially able to answer questions. Danielle told doctors about filler injections, but Igho lost consciousness before the recommended CT scan could be performed. Doctors determined he had suffered a pulmonary embolism (a clot that blocks a blood vessel in the lungs) and took him to intensive care. Doctors performed CPR for more than 100 minutes, but Igho died in the early hours of March 6. An autopsy in the United Kingdom found cellular material in his lungs that matched the hyaluronic acid used in the injection. Coroner Jean Harkin ruled that Igho died of a pulmonary embolism caused by the cosmetic procedure. Igho had around 185,000 followers on Instagram and was known for his lavish lifestyle. He owned a $1.1 million home in the Crenshaw neighborhood of Los Angeles and a $600,000 apartment in London. He and Danielle, a fashion designer and socialite, tied the knot in a lavish $473,000 ceremony in Zimbabwe in 2022. Waiting for your permission to upload Instagram Media. Igho was buried in London in a gold coffin that reportedly cost more than $745,000. Among the mourners were Nigerian superstar Davido and Cuban Celebrity Barman Chief Priest. Penile fillers with hyaluronic acid can cost up to $9,000 and typically last six to nine months. British urology experts have warned of potentially devastating complications. Igho was 43 years old.
