Samples from various parts of his body were collected for analysis, revealing the presence of Diphenhydramine, an anti-histamine, though not at lethal levels.
Anti-histamines are commonly used to alleviate allergy symptoms and treat various ailments like stomach issues and anxiety.
Despite efforts to determine the cause of death, including toxicology tests, no definitive conclusion could be drawn.
The report highlighted the challenges posed by the lack of an autopsy and embalming before interment, which hindered the timely collection of crucial samples. This circumstance impeded the investigation into potential fatal reactions, such as anaphylactic shock.

The autopsy disclosed moderate to severe organ decomposition, with only a superficial injury observed on the right forearm.
While Diphenhydramine was detected, its concentration was insufficient to attribute death solely to its effects.
Consequently, the exact cause of Mohbad’s passing remains elusive, leaving room for speculation about the role of a potential drug reaction.
In light of these findings, the circumstances surrounding Mohbad’s death underscore the importance of thorough medical examinations and timely interventions in elucidating such tragedies.
