Why autopsy may not reveal the natural cause of death
Speaking with The Punch, Dr Anyiam said carrying out an autopsy on a corpse after exhumation may not reveal the natural cause of death. He said it was advisable to carry out an autopsy before burial.
The consultant anatomic pathologist at the Nnamdi Azikiwe University Teaching Hospital, Nnewi, however, said there are causes of death identifiable if an autopsy is carried out after exhumation, such as gunshot, accident, and fractures, among others.

According to him, the cause of death can be either natural or unnatural.
On Thursday, September 21, Legit.ng reported that the remains of Mohbad were exhumed by a combined team of the Nigeria Police Force and health officials.
Speaking further on the possibility of finding out the actual cause of death after exhuming a corpse, the forensic expert, maintained that the cause of a natural death after burial is usually difficult owing to putrefaction (decaying of the body).
He explained thus:
“Autopsy weeks after burial most likely will not show the cause of death in most natural deaths. But an autopsy after burial can still be advised by a pathologist if we are talking of somebody who was brutally beaten to death, we can say let us see evidence of trauma, some broken bones and things like that or gunshot.
“The result of the investigation will depend on what was the cause of death because there are different causes of death. If the cause of death was natural, likely, you will not get much if the body has been buried and exhumed.”
The pathologist noted that an autopsy is very expensive and out of the reach of the poor, adding that it is even more expensive to carry out an autopsy after burial than before burial.
Police confirm conclusion of autopsy on Mohbad's corpse
Legit.ng reported earlier that the Lagos State Command of the Nigerian Police Force (NPF) had announced the conclusion of the autopsy test on the corpse of MohBad.
The command spokesperson, Benjamin Hundeyin, announced this via a social media post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
