The narration goes; The exact cause of Nigerian musician Mohbad’s death could not be determined due to the advanced decomposition of his body before the autopsy, according to the pathologist who conducted the examination.
Decomposition significantly hinders the autopsy process, as it can obscure or destroy critical evidence needed to establish a cause of death.
In forensic pathology, timely autopsies are essential for accurately determining the cause of death. As the body decomposes, tissues and organs break down, potentially masking injuries, diseases, or the presence of toxic substances.
In Mohbad’s case, the delay before the autopsy allowed decomposition to advance to a stage where a definitive cause of death could not be ascertained.
