BREAKING: Mohbad’s autopsy report reveals new cause of death

The autopsy report on Ilerioluwa Oladimeji Aloba, popularly known as Mohbad, has revealed new details regarding his death, though the exact cause remains uncertain. TheCable obtained the report on Thursday, indicating that the autopsy was performed at Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) and included a toxicology test.

The test results detected traces of Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, in Mohbad’s system, but the concentration was neither fatal nor lethal. Antihistamines are typically used to treat allergies, stomach issues, colds, and anxiety.

The autopsy also noted an injury on Mohbad’s right forearm and moderate to severe decomposition of his body, which was exhumed eight days after burial. However, no significant gross findings were attributable to his death.

The report suggests that the possibility of fatal anaphylactic shock or a drug reaction cannot be ruled out, despite the lack of significant post-mortem and toxicology findings. Anaphylactic shock is a severe and potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.

“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 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 findings 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 antihistamine; 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 post-mortem and toxicology findings.”

The autopsy report underscores the importance of timely blood sampling to determine fatal anaphylactic shock, which was not feasible in this case due to Mohbad’s burial on the second day.
