Mohbad: Autopsy reveals possible cause of singer’s death

The reason for the death of the late singer Mohbad, whose real name was Ilerioluwa Aloba, may have been determined by an autopsy performed on his body.

The study stated that the cause of death was unknown, but in light of any noteworthy toxicology and post-mortem results, it mentioned the likelihood of medication responses.

Following an autopsy at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), samples from Mohbad’s stomach, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung were taken for a toxicology examination.

Mohbad suffered an injury to his right forearm, according to the anatomical and pathological findings, and his body was excavated with moderate to severe decomposition, according to TheCable.

Additionally, “no significant gross finding” could be found in the autopsy.

The singer’s death could not be linked to “any significant gross finding,” according to the autopsy results.

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.”
