An autopsy conducted at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) has suggested a possible drug reaction as the cause of the death of singer Promise IleriOluwa Aloba, a.k.a. Mohbad.
The budding singer had died in mid-September 2023 amid controversial circumstances, prompting the Lagos State Government and the State’s Police Command to step in by launching an investigation.
The autopsy results, obtained by TheCable Lifestyle on Thursday, revealed several key findings.
Samples from Mohbad’s gastric content, blood, bone marrow, liver, kidney, and lung were analyzed in a toxicology test. Anatomical and pathological findings showed an injury on his right forearm, and his body was exhumed in a state of moderate to severe decomposition.
The autopsy indicated that “no significant gross finding” could be directly attributed to the singer’s death. However, toxicology results revealed the presence of Diphenhydramine, an anti-histamine, in his system.
This concentration, however, was not within a fatal or lethal range. Anti-histamines are commonly used to treat allergy symptoms, stomach problems, colds, and anxiety, among other conditions.
