Jacky Oh, widely recognized from the popular TV show “Wild ‘N Out” and partner to comedian D.C. Young Fly, tragically passed away due to complications following a cosmetic surgery. The incident, which occurred in Miami, has left fans and family in profound grief. Jacky Oh, whose real name was Jacklyn Smith, was only 33 years old at the time of her passing.
According to the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner, the cause of death was linked to a gluteal augmentation procedure she underwent on May 30. Despite the surgery having no immediate complications, Jacky developed severe symptoms the following day, including a burning sensation in her head and difficulty speaking, which quickly escalated to her becoming unresponsive.
Post-surgery, Jacky was prescribed several medications, including antibiotics and painkillers. However, her condition deteriorated rapidly. Emergency services were called by her aunt after Jacky exhibited alarming symptoms. Despite prompt medical attention, she was declared deceased at the hospital shortly after her arrival.
The autopsy revealed significant swelling in her brain and excessive bleeding around her torso, which were unusual and severe post-operative complications. The medical examiner concluded that her death was accidental, stemming from the surgical procedure.
D.C. Young Fly, devastated by the loss, expressed his sorrow and admiration for Jacky as a partner and mother to their three children. In a heartfelt social media post, he highlighted her loving nature and the profound impact she had on their family’s life. The couple shared three children, and her passing has left a significant void in their lives.
The entertainment community, particularly the cast and crew of “Wild ‘N Out,” also expressed their deep sadness and extended their condolences to Jacky’s family. BET and other media outlets released statements acknowledging her contribution to the industry and the sadness of her untimely departure.
The surgeon responsible for the procedure, Dr. Zachary Okhah, faced scrutiny and legal challenges in the past, with accusations from former patients about unsatisfactory surgical outcomes. However, in the wake of Jacky’s surgery, he defended his practice and emphasized adherence to safety protocols. The incident has sparked broader discussions about the risks associated with cosmetic surgeries, particularly those performed as part of “mommy makeover” packages.
Despite the controversies, no charges were filed against the doctor, as the procedure initially showed no signs of complications according to medical reports.
Jacky Oh’s legacy continues through her contributions to television and her entrepreneurial ventures, including a lip gloss business. Her life and career, though tragically cut short, inspired many who followed her journey. The community and her family vow to keep her memory alive, celebrating the joy and love she brought into their lives.
As the investigation into the exact cause of the complications continues, the family has requested privacy during this challenging time. The focus remains on supporting her children and honoring her memory through various tributes and personal reflections shared by friends, family, and fans worldwide.
