The old Dr. Hayden Kho is dead, according to the legal counsel of the controversial cosmetic surgeon.

Lawyer Lorna Kapunan told “SNN: Showbiz News Ngayon” that a “reformed” Kho is now trying to become a better person.

This is Malapascua Island

Malapascua Island is a Philippine island located about 8 kilometers off the coast of northern Cebu, west of Leyte. The island is a popular tourist destination because of its white, sandy beaches, and is favored by divers as an excellent site for spotting thresher sharks and exploring historic wrecks.
