- The autopsy result of late Mohbad at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) revealed drug reaction to be the possible cause of the singer’s death.
- The toxicology report showed Diphenhydramine present in the crooner’s remains although not at fatal levels.
The autopsy result of the late singer Mohbad, conducted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) has been made public
According to reports from The Cable Lifestyle, the samples from Mohbad’s gastric content, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung were collected for toxicological analysis.
The anatomical and pathological examination disclosed an injury on his right forearm, and it was noted that his body, exhumed after moderate to severe decomposition, showed no significant findings that could determine the cause of death.
The toxicology report indicated the presence of Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, but its concentration was not at a fatal level. Antihistamines are typically used to treat allergy symptoms and other conditions like stomach issues, colds, and anxiety.
The report concluded that the exact cause of death could not be established, but it suggested a possible drug reaction due to the lack of significant findings in both the post-mortem and toxicology reports. Notably, the body had neither undergone an autopsy nor been embalmed before burial on the second day after death.
The body was exhumed on September 21, 2023, eight days post-burial, and showed moderate to marked organ decomposition. Aside from the superficial injury on the right forearm, no other significant findings were observed.
Samples were then taken to assess for any anaphylactic reaction, substance abuse, overdose, or common household poisoning.
Despite the positive finding of Diphenhydramine, its concentration was not lethal, and other analyses were unremarkable. Determining a fatal anaphylactic shock would have required a timely blood sample, which was not possible due to the prompt burial.
Consequently, the cause of death remains undetermined, though a fatal anaphylactic reaction remains a potential consideration given the absence of significant findings.
