**Autopsy Results on Late Singer Mohbad Released, Cause of Death Remains Uncertain**
—
**Lagos, June 6, 2024** – The autopsy conducted on the body of late singer Mohbad has not definitively determined the cause of his death. The autopsy, performed at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), was revealed by TheCable Lifestyle on Thursday.
According to the report, various samples including gastric content, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung were retrieved for toxicology testing. Anatomical and pathological findings indicated an injury on Mohbad’s right forearm and noted moderate to severe decomposition of the body, which was exhumed eight days after burial.
The autopsy did not find any significant gross anatomical findings that could be attributed to the singer’s death. The toxicology results did detect the presence of Diphenhydramine, an anti-histamine, but the concentration found was not within a fatal or lethal range. Anti-histamines are commonly used to treat allergy symptoms, and various other conditions including stomach problems, colds, and anxiety.
The report indicated that the exact cause of death could not be ascertained but suggested the possibility of a drug reaction given the lack of significant post-mortem and toxicology findings.
The report noted: “It is noteworthy that the body neither had an autopsy nor was embalmed prior to interment on the second day. 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, a 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, 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 findings leave many questions unanswered about the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death, prompting further speculation and concern within the community and among his fans.
