New autopsy on singer Mohbad, suggests possible csuse of his death
A recent investigation into the passing of singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, who was known as Mohbad, gives some clues about why he may have died.
The report says they’re not exactly sure what caused his death, but they think drugs might have played a part, based on tests done after he died.
Doctors at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) did the examination. They took samples from his stomach, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung to check for any signs of drugs.
According to TheCable, the doctors also found an injury on Mohbad’s right arm, and his body was starting to decay when they looked at it.
Overall, though, they didn’t find any big problems that could explain why he passed away.”
The toxicology “revealed the positive finding of diphenhydramine, an anti-histamine; however, this concentration was not in a fatal or lethal range”.
The report reads: “Anti-histamines are medicines used to treat symptoms of allergies. They are also used to treat a variety of other conditions such as stomach problems, colds, and anxiety, among others.”
“It is noteworthy that the body neither had an autopsy nor embalmed prior to interment on the second day,” the report states.
“It is noteworthy that the body neither had an autopsy nor embalmed prior to interment on the second day,” the report states.
“Following the Order for Exhumation, the body was exhumed on 21/09/2023 (8 days after the burial).
“Autopsy revealed moderate to marked decomposition of organs. Apart from the superficial injury on the right forearm, no significant gross finding could be attributed to death.
“Against this background, samples were taken for toxicology. This is to determine if there was any anaphylactic reaction, substances of abuse, overdosage or common household poisoning.
“Toxicology revealed positive findings of Diphenhydramine, an anti-histamine; however, this concentration was not in a fatal or lethal range. The other analytics were unremarkable.
“In determining fatal anaphylactic shock, blood sample needs to be taken as quickly as possible.
“Unfortunately, this was prevented or made impossible by the burial of the deceased on the second day. In the light of the foregoing, cause of death could not be ascertained.
“However, the possibility of a fatal anaphylactic shock (drug reaction) could be considered in view of the absence of any significant post-mortem and toxicology findings.”
