Autopsy Reveals Drug Reaction As Possible Cause Of Mohbad’s Death

The autopsy conducted on the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, suggested a possible cause of death related to a drug reaction.

The autopsy was conducted at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), and TheCable Lifestyle obtained the results on Thursday.

The examination included testing samples from Mohbad’s stomach contents, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung for toxins.

Findings showed an injury on his right forearm, and his body was moderately to severely decomposed when exhumed.

The autopsy did not find any significant physical evidence pointing to the cause of death.

However, toxicology tests detected Diphenhydramine, an anti-histamine, in his system. This concentration was not lethal.

Anti-histamines treat allergy symptoms and other conditions like stomach issues, colds, and anxiety.

The report stated the exact cause of death could not be determined but mentioned a potential drug reaction.

The autopsy also noted that Mohbad’s body had not been autopsied or embalmed before burial, and it was exhumed eight days later.

“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.”

KanyiDaily recalls that Mohbad’s father, Joseph Aloba said that he will reveal who allegedly killed Mohbad after a DNA test is conducted on Liam, the singer’s son.
