TheCable Lifestyle on Thursday, June 7, obtained the autopsy results from the examination conducted on the body of late singer Mohbad at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH).

According to the report, several bodily samples, including those from the singer's stomach, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung, were obtained for toxicology testing.

According to the findings, Mohbad's right forearm was injured, and there was moderate to severe decomposition.

However, no noteworthy gruesome discoveries were connected to his demise. The toxicological results indicated the presence of the antihistamine diphenhydramine, but not to a fatal degree.

Antihistamines are frequently used to treat anxiety, colds, and gastrointestinal problems in addition to allergy symptoms.

Based on the post-mortem and toxicological findings, the report found that while the precise cause of death could not be ascertained, there is a chance that a drug reaction occurred.

The statement reads: “It is noteworthy that the body neither had an autopsy nor 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, 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."
