Friday, August 1, 2025 - A British man has di£d after having a hair transplant in Turkey.
The 38-year-old from the UK had travelled to the country for the operation.
He reportedly had the procedure at a private clinic called CINIK in Istanbul’s Besiktas area, according to Turkish outlet OdaTV.
But shortly after the five-hour surgery, he became unwell.
The man was rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was taken to the intensive care unit, OdaTV reports.
Despite medical treatment, he soon di£d.
His body has been taken to the Forensic Medicine Institute for an autopsy before being sent back to the UK.
An investigation has now been launched into the de@th, with officials looking into accusations of "reckless homicide."
A spokesperson of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) said: "We are supporting the family of a British man who died in Turkey and are in contact with the local authorities."
Turkey has become one of the top destinations for cosmetic tourism thanks to lower prices.
