On Sunday, the world woke up to Sridevi's death
News of the actor's death broke in the intervening night of February 24-25.

Sridevi, Kapoor and daughter Khushi were in Dubai to attend the wedding of nephew Mohit Marwah. Elder daughter Jahnvi had skipped the function to shoot for her debut in Mumbai.

Probe
Dubai investigators might order another post mortem
Since then, police have questioned Kapoor, Mohit Marwah as well as the hotel staff about the events. The case has been transferred to the Dubai Public Prosecution, which may conduct another post mortem if necessary. In Dubai, any death outside a hospital has to be thoroughly probed by law. For now, her body remains in a morgue and the hotel room has been sealed.
Theories
Fiery speculation on social media about Sridevi's 'mysterious' death
Numerous theories have abounded about the 'mysterious' death. Many questioned how someone could drown in a bathtub. There was speculation that she was intoxicated, lost her balance and fell into the bathtub, but even this theory was questioned. Many highlighted the report itself, asking how it concluded the drowning was "accidental." Meanwhile, a Reliance-owned jet reached Dubai to transport her body back to India.
