Dubai, February 25 

The autopsy of superstar Sridevi, who passed away here after a cardiac arrest, has been completed and her body would be flown back to India tomorrow, according to  media reports.

UAE officials have revealed that Sridevi's autopsy has been completed and the family is now awaiting laboratory reports conducted by the General Department of Forensic Evidence, Dubai, Khaleej Times reported.

The body of legendary Indian actress Sridevi, who died in Dubai on Saturday night, is likely to be flown home tomorrow, Gulf News reported. Sridevi’s body could not be repatriated on Sunday as the final investigation reports from the Dubai Police were not ready by late evening, officials dealing with the legal formalities were quoted by the report.

Officials also said that as per usual protocols, these tests take up to 24 hours in the case a person has died outside a hospital in Dubai. The same safety and administrative protocols are being followed by the police in this case as well.

Meanwhile, in a moving gesture, Indian industrial magnate Anil Ambani has sent a 13-seater aircraft to Dubai to bring back Sridevi’s body to India. The funeral is likely to take place on Monday, although there is no word from the family on this so far.  — Agencies
