The pathologist in charge of singer Mohbad’s autopsy has disclosed that despite months of investigating his cause of death, he and his team were unable to determine the cause of death for the former Naira Marley signee.
In light of this, the Senior Advocate of Nigeria, Wahab Shittu, mentioned that the pathologist’s testimony in court confirmed that the toxicology test conducted on Mohbad did not provide conclusive evidence regarding the cause of his death. Shittu disclosed this information during a press conference following the Coroner’s Inquest on Wednesday.
The senior lawyer said, that at the time the test was carried out, the body of the singer had already decomposed.
“According to him, the cause of death cannot be determined,” Shittu told newsmen outside the court.
“He gave a lot of reasons. He said by the time they conducted the test, the body had decomposed and that it is not possible for them to determine the cause of death.
“So the summary he is saying is that the cause of death cannot be ascertained and when you say the cause of death cannot be ascertained, it means it is suspicious, it is not clear, no particular reason.”
The lawyer also said the pathologist also said the cause of the death could be attributed to reaction to certain drugs administered on him before he died.
“He also went further to say that it may be attributed to reaction to certain drugs administered on him before he died. Again he then qualified that to say he does not know whether it is those drugs that actually led to his death,” he added.
Mohbad passed away on September 12, 2023, at the age of 27, causing a stir on social media due to the contentious circumstances surrounding his demise.
