MTV’s Wild ‘n Out star Ms Jacky Oh pᴀssed away earlier this year and the mum-of-three’s cause of death has now been revealed as complications from cosmetic surgery
MTV’s Jacky Oh died as a result of complications from cosmetic surgery back in May.
The Wild ‘n Out star, whose real name is Jacklyn Smith, pᴀssed away in Miami, Florida, aged 33 after undergoing a Brazilian ʙuтт lift. According to an autopsy report obtained by TMZ, the star complained that her head was “burning” shortly before her death.
Prior to her pᴀssing, the TV personality revealed she flew to Miami to get a “mommy makeover” in an Instagram post she subsequently deleted. There were reportedly no complications during the procedure and after, the mum-of-three was prescribed various medications such as Cliprofloxacin (an antibiotic), painkiller Oxycodone and anti-nausea drug Ondansetron.
She then developed a headache and was advised by the nurse to take ibuprofen and to stop taking the Ondansetron. The report states that Jacky “began to feel like her head was burning” and had “difficulty speaking”.
The reality star’s aunt called 911, however Jacky was unresponsive and was pronounced ᴅᴇᴀᴅ on the evening of May 31. The autopsy also said that Jacky had “swelling in her brain and extensive bleeding of the skin around her torso.”
No charges will be brought against Dr. Zachary Okhah, who performed the procedure on the late star. Dr. Zach, who has sued former patients for claiming he botched their surgeries, took to social media two weeks after her death and insisted every patient of his is prepped properly prior to surgery.
He wrote: “To all my past, current and prospective patients, PH-1 Miami remains devoted to the highest quality medical care. All aesthetic procedures are performed in a hygienically safe environment to universally recognized medical standards.”
The doctor continued: “I am relentlessly committed to advancing techniques in the realm of plastic surgery. Most importantly, my staff and I ensure that each patient is vetted, prepped and treated according to their individual patient history prior to any surgery.
He signed off the post by saying: “Our mission is to help our patients achieve the best possible results in the safest and most medically appropriate way possible.” Jacky had been with YouTuber DC Young Fly since 2015 and the couple have three children; Nova, six, and Nala, three, and son Prince, 11 months.
The YouTuber delivered a touching eulogy at his partner’s memorial service in June, praising her for her “beautiful soul” and parenting skills. He said: “She was a great mother. We gotta understand what she did… her input on what she did on this earth, man. She made sure our kids were loving each other, they praying.”
He added: “I love you, Jack. These kids are beautiful, man. I’m talkin’ about, super great mother. I want our kids to understand that you had a beautiful soul and you didn’t leave us. You in heaven. Your spirit is with us, you still here, and we got an amazing support system. We got a beautiful support system and they came out. We love you. Everybody in here, keep God first.”
