Following the death of actor-model Shefali Jariwala on June 27, the Mumbai Police carried out a search at her apartment in Andheri and discovered anti-ageing medicine, skin glow tablets, and vitamin supplements.
As part of probe, authorities are investigating the factors that may have contributed to the 42-year-old actor’s death.
According to Hindustan Times, previously, police had found two boxes of these beauty and self-care supplements while documenting the investigation at her residence.
However, Shefali’s family stated that she was not taking the tablets under a doctor’s supervision, but they did not adversely affect her health.
Jariwala passed away on Friday at her apartment. The ‘Kaanta Laga’ fame actor was taken to Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital in Mumbai by her husband Parag Tyagi and three others, but hospital staff confirmed she was dead on arrival.
Initial reports suggested cardiac arrest as the cause of her death, but Mumbai Police later stated the cause was uncertain.
The doctors at RN Cooper Hospital, where her post-mortem examination was conducted, now suspect a sudden drop in blood pressure might have resulted in her untimely demise.
The HT, citing Parag, reported Shefali had been fasting for a Satyanarayan Pooja at their home. He told the police she had even collapsed the day before after eating.
While the exact reason behind Shefali’s death will be determined after the post-mortem report is released, the Mumbai Police have ruled out foul play.
Meanwhile, an Accidental Death Report (ADR) has been filed. Shefali was cremated at Oshiwara Crematorium on Saturday evening, a day after her death.
Shefali Jariwala rose to fame in 2002 with her appearance in the song ‘Kaanta Laga’ at the age of 20. Later, she went on participating in various projects, including reality shows like Bigg Boss and Nach Baliye, where she competed alongside her husband Parag.
