Dubai, Feb. 26 (TBS): Authorities in the UAE confirmed on Monday that Bollywood actress Sridevi died after accidentally drowning after earlier Indian media reports had claimed her death was caused by a cardiac arrest.
“The death of Indian actress Sridevi occurred due to drowning in her hotel apartment’s bathtub following loss of consciousness,” the Dubai police tweeted, citing a post-mortem.
The body of the late actor was not released by Dubai authorities to the family on Monday, and it is expected that the body will now be released on Tuesday.
Executive Editor of UAE’s Khaleej Times, Vicky Kapur, told India’s ABP News that Dubai Police will record the statement of husband Boney Kapoor after her sudden demise.
The forensic report was sent to the public prosecutor’s office, which will decide the merit of the case and then take further action if required.
