The entertainment industry has been thrown into mourning and confusion following the release of the autopsy report for late Nollywood actor and skit maker, Odira Nwobu. The report, which surfaced online a few weeks after his death, has confirmed that the actor died from poisoning.
Director Confirms Tragic Autopsy Findings
Arthur Scott, the director of the late actor, has officially confirmed the authenticity of the circulating autopsy result. In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, Scott expressed his dismay at the tragic revelation. He stated that while they are still awaiting the full report, the confirmation of poisoning has left them bewildered.
"We are yet to get the full report, but all of this is confusing because we can't understand how he was poisoned," Scott said. This confirmation overturns the initial cause of death, which was cited as high blood pressure after Nwobu passed away while on vacation in South Africa with friends.
Fans Speculate and React to the News
The news of the autopsy result has triggered a wave of reactions from fans and followers across social media platforms. Many are speculating that Nwobu's life might have been in danger since his earlier accident, with some suspecting foul play.
One user, @rosemaryequire, offered a medical perspective, commenting: "Medically anything that doesn't go well with his body is called poisoning, be it a mixture of alcohol or anything that triggers his body is called poisoning medically." Another fan, @thegirl_favoured, echoed this, stating, "When the doctor said a patient died of poisoning, it doesn't really mean someone poisoned him. Omg Nigerians."
Other reactions pointed fingers at the circumstances. User @sweeetchi1 commented, "Well I said same thing because why didn't the heart attack happened all these while until he was away from home. They cooked up yeye story and even stripped him off his clothes just to create content." Meanwhile, @ijeomauwazie noted the efficiency of the process, writing, "You see how fast it is to conduct an autopsy that’s a country that works."
Investigation and Unanswered Questions
Following the actor's demise, security agencies in South Africa had planned to investigate the incident, leading to the scheduling of the autopsy. The final result, confirming poisoning, has now raised more questions than answers.
It is worth recalling that prior to this development, Odira Nwobu's friends had faced blame for his death. One content creator had claimed that the actor went on a roller coaster ride despite his deteriorating health. Fans are now encouraging his management team to investigate the specific type of poisoning that led to his death to determine if it was accidental or intentional.
The tragic loss of Odira Nwobu and the shocking cause of death confirmed by the autopsy report continue to elicit talks and demand for clarity, leaving a cloud of mystery over the promising actor's untimely passing.
