Mumbai, Feb 26 (IBNS): Forensic Test has revealed that Bollywood icon Sridevi died due to 'accidental drowning', media reports said on Monday.

She died at Jumeirah Emirates Towers in Dubai on Saturday, reports said.

The autopsy on the body of Sridevi is complete and her death certificate, as reported by Khaleej Times, mentioned that the cause of death was accidental drowning. 

Her mortal remains are expected to be brought back to India later in the day.

According to several news reports, Sridevi was in a bathtub inside the hotel bathroom while she suffered a cardiac arrest.

Sridevi's husband 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.

Sridevi was with her younger daughter Khusi in Dubai.

Kapoor flew from Mumbai to give a surprise to Sridevi on the day she had died.

Following the surfacing of the news, 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.
