Babu IndianFeb 26, 2018 at 6:23 pmA bathtub is around one feet or maximum one and half feet . Generally waterlevel is less, may be half feet or so . There is a somewhat possibility that she was extemely drunk and passed out in the tub . But chances of that are low , it is better , irrespective of who she is , that the matter is more investigated for any foul play .Reply- Navin DiwanFeb 26, 2018 at 5:58 pmUnreliable of yours!Reply
- Daisy BoyFeb 26, 2018 at 5:55 pmThe husband surprised the wife with a sudden visit to Dubai hotel, back from Mumbai without informing her - she shocked him by fainting in the bathtub and drowning therein with traces of alcohol. When middle-aged nearly old, alcohol loving people indulge in such surprises, it can turn tragic. What a great shock her death is to millions of us - despite the media going over board in its coverage, it can never fully console the the bereaved - and even amit shah could not ever have planned such a diversion from the criminal allegations his party is facing these days.Reply

- Feb 26, 2018 at 5:25 pmAdults do not die of "accidental drowning" in a bath tub which can hold no more than eighteen inches of water. I have heard of cases where very, very drunk persons fall into a wading pool and die, because they are already disoriented and unable to stand up on their feet. Further inquiries are necessary in Sri Devi's case. Why did Ind. Express say she died of Cardiac Arrest, without waiting for the Post Mortem report ?? Why rush to print with the wrong information ?? We the Public can wait a day or two for the CORRECT information.Reply
- Feb 26, 2018 at 5:37 pmWait further for the blood report!??? Nowadays we are literally eating news from the hands of the media. Public treat 'news' from the TV and Newspapers as the truth.Reply
- Feb 26, 2018 at 6:04 pmCongrats !!! Dubai Police ( Khalfan, Khalifa Talal ) -There are traces of alcohol - unless proved guilty everyone is innocent.
