A British man has died 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 died.
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.
