His blood-alcohol concentration (BAC) was at 0.112, higher than the 0.08 legal limit for normal human being state, the coroner’s office stated.
Tagbo Umeike’ didn’t have a prescription for any type of topiramate medication, according to his family. The coroner’s office claims the amount of drug in Tagbos’ system was in the “therapeutic range.”, Gistb4u.com according to Tagbo autopsy report “Alcohol and topiramate are synergistic. When combined, the effect of either or both drugs is enhanced. Topiramate, like alcohol, can cause dizziness, impaired memory, impaired concentration, poor coordination, confusion and impaired judgment,” a news release said. “Central nervous system depression, or impairment, combined with cold exposure can hasten the onset of hypothermia and death.” The circumstances Tagbo Umeikes’ death sparked controversy Throught the Internet and The Physical World. New details have emerged as to why Tagbo Umeike reportedly died after allegedly getting drunk at his own birthday attended by Nigerian popstar,Davido.
The source Gistb4u.com however blamed Davido for watching the deceased as he drank himself until he passed out. “After he passed out, I think…I don’t know what happened…the CCTV showed that Davido was asking him to come into his car but I think he (Tagbo) didn’t want to enter into Davido’s car, then they forced him into his own car…then there was this blackout. Now they don’t want to tell us how he got to the hospital. That is the question. How did he get to the hospital? Because the police met his car and his body in the hospital with no one” – the eyewitness added.
