The autopsy report of Nigerian singer Mohbad has been released

The autopsy report of Nigerian singer Mohbad has finally been released. The detailed report has provided some answers.

The autopsy, conducted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH), revealed that samples of Mohbad’s gastric content, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung were retrieved for toxicology tests. The anatomical and pathological findings highlighted an injury on his right forearm and indicated that his body was exhumed with moderate to severe decomposition.

The toxicology report suggested the possibility of a drug reaction, given the post-mortem and toxicology results. However, the report noted that determining if a fatal anaphylactic shock had occurred would have been more straightforward had his blood samples been tested immediately post-mortem.

The medical report reads: “Aloba Promise Oladimeji Ilerioluwa, a 26-year-old male, reportedly died after being injected by one supposed female nurse on 9/12/2023.

“The deceased allegedly sustained an injury on the back of the right forearm, following which the nurse was invited to treat him. Shortly after the injection, it was alleged that the deceased went into a convulsive episode and was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced lifeless the same day.

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

“Following the Order for Exhumation, the body was exhumed on September 21, 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, substance 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 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 postmortem and toxicology findings.” he said
