Dubai authorities have released the body of deceased Bollywood star Sridevi as they declare the case closed.

The Indian actor was found dead over the weekend, having “accidentally drowned” in a bathtub according to a forensic report.

“The decision to release the body came after all the investigations and procedural matters followed in such incidents were completed, in order to determine all its circumstances and ensure that justice was done within the framework of the law,” reads a statement from the Dubai Media Office.

Arjun Kapoor - Sridevi’s stepson - flew to Dubai earlier today to help the actor’s husband Boney Kapoor take the body back home to India where it will be embalmed and a funeral will take place.

According to the BBC, fans have gathered outside her Mubai residence to pay their last respects.
