Aproko Doctor, has shade light on a new controversy relating to the death of Nigerian musician, Mohbad.
Mohbad’s exhumed casket
Recall that after the Nigeria Police exhumed the corpse of the singer for an autopsy, fresh blood was spotted in the casket, sparking all sorts of speculations.
While no concrete explanation has been given for the fresh blood, there have been speculations that the singer was probably only unconscious when he was buried and subsequently died of suffocation after he was buried.
There have also been question on the possibility of finding fresh blood in a grave eight days after a person has been buried.
Explaining the possibilities around the fresh blood spotted in the casket, Aproko Doctor who is poplar on social media Twitter wrote,
‘’Your blood has a red colour because of a compound called haemoglobin. That’s what carries oxygen through your body
“When blood is exposed to air, the cells that carry these haemoglobin die, and the haemoglobin becomes exposed to air and starts to change colour to a darker one.
“This dark colour is because the haemoglobin is being changed to another compound called methemoglobin.
“Normally, when people die, they die with all the blood in their system, but it doesn’t move because circulation has stopped, but it’s still there. Let’s not forget.
“Now, during embalming, this blood is usually replaced with another fluid. The question is, “Was he embalmed?”
“Even at that, you can’t get all the blood out! Some will still be left.
“We all want to know why it’s still red, right? There is one possible reason, in a closed compartment, there is very little air underground, so it’s possible that the haemoglobin is not exposed enough to change colour to the darker one.
“As to why it’s that much, we don’t have access to the body so we don’t know what other injuries we’re inflicted on his body, we remember his neck was in an unnatural position to fit in the coffin, it is possible that must have broken his vessels to cause some blood still in the system to leak out.
“All we can do is speculate. We will not be more knowledgeable than people with the body physically and examining it.”
