Mathieu Vigier Latour, a 24-year-old student from France, tragically ended his life after an unsuccessful beard transplant.

French student died by suicide after receiving a failed beard transplant in Istanbul from someone allegedly pretending to be a surgeon.

In March 2024, 24-year-old Mathieu Vigier Latour travelled to Istanbul for a beard transplant. He was studying business in Paris at the time.

According to the Daily Mail, the cost of the transplant was around $1,950, only a fifth of the price it would be if getting the procedure done in France.
