The cause of death for Jacky Oh, the comedy challenge show “Wild ‘N Out” whose real name is Jacklyn Marie Smith, has been revealed.
According to the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner Department, the star died June 1 from complications following a gluteal augmentation procedure. She was 33 at the time of her death.
Officials said Smith was cleared prior to the operation and traveled with her aunt from Georgia to Miami, Florida, for the surgery on May 30.
After surgery, Smith was prescribed ciprofloxacin, oxycodone, and ondansetron, the medical examiner's department said, adding that she developed a headache after the operation.
Smith returned to the surgeon for a post-operative appointment and had a massage "to alleviate her headache," officials said.
