A British patient who underwent a hair transplant in Turkey has died after falling ill following the surgery.
The 38-year-old man flew to Istanbul and had the cosmetic procedure on Monday at a private clinic called CINIK in the city's Besiktas neighbourhood, Turkish news outlet OdaTV reports.
Shortly after the surgery, which lasted five hours, the Brit became unwell and was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Th British tourist's body was taken to the Forensic Medicine Institute for an autopsy, and an investigation was launched into the incident, with the police looking at his death as a possible 'reckless homicide'.
Clinic staff, including the surgeon who performed the hair transplant, the anaesthesiologist and nurses have been interviewed by police, it is understood.
