Drug Reaction Implicated In Mohbad’s Death According To Autopsy Report....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶

The autopsy on the body of the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, also known as Mohbad, conducted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), has suggested a possible cause of his death.

According to The Cable, samples from the singer’s gastric content, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lungs were collected for a toxicology test. The anatomical and pathological findings indicated an injury on his right forearm, and his body was exhumed in a state of moderate to severe decomposition.

The autopsy revealed “no significant gross finding” that could directly explain the cause of death. Toxicology tests showed the presence of Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, but the concentration was not within a fatal range.

Antihistamines are commonly used to treat allergy symptoms and various other conditions, such as stomach issues, colds, and anxiety.

The report noted that the exact cause of death could not be determined but mentioned the possibility of a drug reaction due to the lack of significant post-mortem and toxicology findings.

“It is noteworthy that the body neither had an autopsy nor was embalmed prior to interment on the second day,” the report stated.

“Following the Order for Exhumation, the body was exhumed on 21/09/2023, eight days after the burial.

The autopsy revealed moderate to marked decomposition of the organs. Apart from the superficial injury on the right forearm, no significant gross finding could be attributed to the death.

Against this background, samples were taken for toxicology to check for any anaphylactic reaction, substances of abuse, overdosage, or common household poisoning. Toxicology revealed positive findings of Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine; however, this concentration was not in a fatal or lethal range. The other analytics were unremarkable.

In determining fatal anaphylactic shock, blood samples need 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 light of the foregoing, the 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,” the report stated.
