Autopsy Reveals Drug Reaction as Possible Cause of Mohbad’s Death – Report
The autopsy report on the late singer Ilerioluwa Aloba, known as Mohbad, suggests that a drug reaction could have been the cause of his death.
According to The Cable, the autopsy and toxicology tests conducted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital indicated the possibility of a fatal anaphylactic shock or drug reaction. Anaphylactic shock is a severe, potentially life-threatening allergic reaction.
The hospital retrieved samples of Mohbad’s gastric contents, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung for toxicology testing. The report found traces of Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine used to treat allergies, in his blood. However, the concentration was not high enough to be considered fatal.
The autopsy also revealed an injury on Mohbad’s right forearm and moderate to severe decomposition of his body, which was exhumed eight days after burial. Despite these findings, no significant evidence directly linked to his death was found.
The report stated, “The body neither had an autopsy nor was 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.”
It added, “Samples were taken for toxicology to determine if there was any anaphylactic reaction, substances of abuse, overdosage, or common household poisoning. Toxicology revealed positive findings of Diphenhydramine; however, this concentration was not in a fatal or lethal range. The other analytics were unremarkable.”
The report highlighted the importance of timely blood sampling to determine fatal anaphylactic shock, which was not possible due to Mohbad’s quick burial. Consequently, the cause of death could not be definitively determined, though a fatal anaphylactic shock (drug reaction) could be considered.
Mohbad, a 27-year-old artist formerly signed to Naira Marley’s Marlian Music, died on September 12, 2023, under controversial circumstances that prompted widespread debate. The Lagos State Police Command established a special investigation team on September 18, 2023, to investigate his death, leading to the arrest of Naira Marley, Balogun Eletu (Sam Larry), and others.
Mohbad’s body was exhumed on September 21, 2023, for further investigation. The Lagos State government’s counsel, O. Akinde, informed the Coroner’s Court in November 2023 that a toxicology test was conducted in the United States. However, the National Medical Services Laboratories in Pennsylvania, USA, denied conducting such a test.
