Sridevi’s body to be released for embalming after Dubai Police issue permit

Sridevi funeral updates: The Dubai Police have cleared the release of Bollywood icon Sridevi’s body for the embalming process, ending her family’s two-day wait for bringing the body home for cremation. The Dubai Prosecution Service has also closed the investigation into the actor's death. Apart from Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor, her stepson Arjun Kapoor is also in Dubai to oversee the formalities. Sridevi’s death was announced early on Sunday but the funeral, which will take place in Mumbai, has been delayed for two days pending paper work in Dubai where the actor had gone to attend a family wedding. Sridevi’s husband Boney Kapoor had given a statement to the Dubai Police on the circumstances surrounding his wife's death. Kapoor reportedly discovered Sridevi unconscious in the bathtub filled with water in the hotel. She was taken to a hospital where she was declared brought dead.
