Bollywood superstar Sridevi, one of the Indian film industry's most popular actresses, drowned after passing out in her hotel bathtub in Dubai, police said Monday.
The actress, who died on Saturday at the age of 54, was attending a family wedding in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
In a tweet, the Dubai police said: "Following the completion of post-mortem analysis, #DubaiPolice today stated that the death of Indian actress #Sridevi occurred due to drowning in her hotel apartment's bathtub following loss of consciousness."
Police added that the case had been transferred to Dubai's public prosecution office.
The Star is believed to have suffered a heart attack while in the bathtub and subsequently drowned.
Bollywood greats and Indian political elites flooded social media with tributes to the actress whose work spanned five decades and included some of the country's most beloved films.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi was among the many who expressed shock at Sridevi's death, with a tweet early Sunday extending his condolences to her family.
