Mixed reactions trail Mohbad’s autopsy result

Diverse reactions have continued to trail the result of the autopsy conducted on singer, Ilerioluwa Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad.

The autopsy result which surfaced on the Internet on Friday, May 7, 2024, revealed that although there was no conclusive proof of the cause of the late singer’s death, he appeared to have died from a reaction to drugs.

The report of the autopsy conducted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital revealed that samples of Mohbad’s gastric content, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lungs were received for a complete toxicology examination.

The report read, “It is noteworthy that the body neither had an autopsy nor embalmed before interment on the second day. Following the Order for Exhumation, the body was exhumed on 21/09/2023 (eight days after the burial).

“Autopsy revealed moderate to marked decomposition of organs. Aside 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 was to determine if there was any anaphylactic reaction, substance abuse, overdose 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.

“Unfortunately, this was prevented or made impossible by the burial of the deceased on the second day. In the light of the preceding, the cause of death could not be ascertained. However, the possibility of a fatal anaphylactic shock (drug reaction) could be considered given the absence of any significant post-mortem and toxicology findings.”

However, the report has stirred mixed reactions, as some of the late singer’s fans argued that the result was released late. In contrast, others stated that his father’s action of burying him immediately hurt the autopsy result.

A fan, augustinaariemi, commented, “My own is that Baba Bohbad didn’t do well by burying that boy like that. He is one of the reasons that boy has not got justice.”

Leeeymarrrrh wrote, “The father is part of the people that did not allow this guy (Mohbad) to get justice.”
