"Following the completion of post mortem analysis, Dubai police headquarters today stated that the death of the Indian actress Sridevi occurred due to drowning in her hotel apartment's bath tub following loss of consciousness," the Dubai government's media office said on Twitter.
The Dubai government said in a tweet that the police have transferred the case to the "Dubai Public Prosecution" which will carry out regular legal procedures followed in such cases.
Earlier it was reported that cause of her death was a massive cardiac arrest[Sridevi Death UPDATE! Report says Sridevi died of accidental drowning in bathtub in a drunk state!].

Amidst all this, some miscreants have been posting pictures of a dead lady's body lying in the hospital wrapped in a white sheet claiming it is Sridevi's body at Radhid Hospital, Dubai.
But a leading portal has cleared the air by saying these pictures are fake and not of Sridevi. The pictures have indeed been making rounds since Sunday.
