How Igho Ubiribo Died
Ubiribo died in March 2026 after suffering a medical emergency while on holiday in Bangkok, Thailand.

Reports indicate he had received the injections before the complication proved fatal.
His funeral in London was a lavish affair, featuring a golden coffin, with many in attendance. Following the inquest findings, members of his family, including his son, publicly disputed aspects of the narrative surrounding the cause of death and his estate.
