In information passed to Thailand's health authorities, the clinic stated that Ubiribo had been a patient at the facility since 2024 and received a total of five penile enlargement procedures.

The final treatment was carried out on March 5, a day before his death.

The clinic told investigators that its doctor had recommended splitting the last procedure across two separate sessions. Ubiribo declined and asked for it to be completed in a single sitting.

According to the facility, he signed a consent form before each procedure and received aftercare guidance following his treatments.

Hours after the March 5 appointment, Igho "Tiny" Ubiribo developed chest pains and collapsed. Medical staff attempted to resuscitate him, performing CPR for 101 minutes.

He had reportedly lost consciousness before a CT scan could be carried out and was confirmed dead in the early hours of March 6.
