Dubai forensic report claims Sridevi died due to 'accidental drowning'

Mumbai, Feb 26 (IBNS): In a new twist to the Sridevi death case, it has been now revealed in the forensic test that the silver screen goddess expired as a result of 'accidental drowning.'

In fact some media reports are also claiming that traces of alcohol have been found in her blood in the autopsy report.

According to Khaleej Times, the Dubai police is conducting an ongoing probe at the place of death, and the room at Jumeirah Emirates Towers, in which she was staying, has been sealed.

While the previous media reports claimed that Sridevi was in a bathtub inside the hotel bathroom when she suffered a cardiac arrest, the autopsy report on Monday changed the dimension of the case.

According to reports, the Dubai Police is questioning Sridevi's husband Boney Kapoor, the hotel staff, and others present at the time of death.

Bonny Kapoor, who was incidentally present in the same room, forced his entry to the bathroom after getting no response from his wife for sometime.

After Kapoor failed to revive Sridevi, the actress was taken to a hospital where she was declared brought dead.

Meanwhile, as against earlier news, chances of bringing her mortal remains back to Mumbai by Monday midnight are slim.

The remains would reportedly be brought back onboard a chartered aircraft.

Sridevi was in Dubai to attend the wedding of her nephew Mohit Marwah.

Boney Kapoor, who was also with her, returned back to Dubai only to surprise Sridevi on the day she had died.

Following the surfacing of the news of Sridevi's death, the entire country had mourned since Saturday night.

From PM Modi to Bollywood stars, everyone took to social media and other platforms to offer condolences.
