An unidentified 32-year-old German man died after 46-year-old catering worker, Torben K, poured silicone oil into his manhood to increase the size of his penis.
According to a report in the Daily Mail on Monday, the German had silicone oil injected into his genitalia by a caterer posing as a doctor.
After being afflicted by many medical issues, the German died from sepsis seven months later.
Wolf-Tilman Baumert, the High State Prosecutor, claims that Torben K, who marketed his service via an online ad, has no medical training. 2019 saw him carry out the procedure in his Solingen flat as well.
Giessen University Hospital was contacted by the victim, who later endured months of torment in an intensive care unit.
Baumert said, “Unfortunately, the silicone oil ended up in the person’s bloodstream. This led to severe health complications and, eventually, to his death.
The fact that the man asked for the treatment is irrelevant from our point of view. The defendant acted in a highly immoral manner.”
A decision will likely be rendered later this month while the trial is ongoing.
