“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.
