According to report from local Dubai newspaper, an Indian Consulate official and a family member were called inside the morgue yesterday afternoon. Meanwhile on Saturday, Boney, who produced "Mr. India", which gave Sridevi one of her most remembered roles, flew back to Dubai to surprise his wife with a dinner. Meanwhile the paper reported that he reached the Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel around 5.30pm (Dubai time) and woke her up and they chatted for about 15 minutes.
Sources have added that Sridevi then went to the bathroom to get ready and when she didn't come out for 15 minutes, Boney knocked on the door. He did not get any response and forced open the door, to find her lying motionless in the bathtub that was full of water. Meanwhile local newspaper reported that "Boney tried to revive her and when he could not, he called a friend of his. After that, he informed the police at 9 pm”.
Accordingly
immediately the police and paramedics rushed to the site, but she was pronounced
dead and her body was taken to the General Department of Forensic Medicine for
an autopsy. Moreover the body of the late actor, who embodied super stardom in
the 1980s and 1990s in what was a hugely male dominated industry, is expected
to reach Mumbai late today after authorities in Dubai conclude all the
formalities.
