Pathologist finally reveals what caused Mohbad's death

A pathologist has testified in Court that Mohbad's death was not caused by drug abuse, as many suggested on social media.

According to Uwom Eze, the forensic pathologist who conducted a second autopsy and medical review, the substances found in Mohbad's system were "regulated" doses of antihistamines, not hard drugs.

Eze presented his findings at a coroner's court, dismissing claims that Mohbad's death was due to drug abuse. He also noted that an injury found on Mohbad's body was superficial and couldn't determine how the injection was administered.

“Even a newborn baby won’t die from that injury. At the time I conducted the autopsy, it wasn’t even there, maybe because of the post-mortem changes on the body,” he said. “I couldn’t tell how the injection was given, because I had already lost (his) fluids.”

The pathologist said the singer may have died from a “severe allergic reaction” to the injected substance, which led to multiple organ failure.

He described the case as a “medical misadventure.”

“Considering all the postmortem findings, including ancillary tests and available information, a major disruption of vital organ systems of the body with resultant fatality due to a severe and rapid hypersensitivity reaction to a substance administered by parenteral route is plausible,” he added.

Mohbad's body was exhumed on September 21, 2023, for an autopsy following his burial the previous day. In May 2024, the pathologist revealed that the cause of death couldn't be determined due to the decomposition of his body. A toxicology report in June 2024 found Diphenhydramine, an antihistamine, in Mohbad's system, but the concentration was not lethal.
