Blood Pressure Dip To Blame For Shefali Jariwala's Death?

The sudden demise of Shefali Jariwala, the 42-year-old actress and model best known for 'Kaanta Laga' music, has raised questions over the cause of her death. The postmortem report, which is expected within two days, will finally clear the air. The police have examined the CCTV footage and ruled out food poisoning, so far.

However, according to a preliminary report obtained by the Amboli police, it is suspected that Jariwala may have died due to a sudden drop in her blood pressure. “The doctor informed us that they suspect the cause of death could be a dip in her blood pressure,” said an Amboli police officer.

“We have recorded around statements of 10 people, including those of her husband, parents, and domestic staff. On Friday, a Satyanarayan pooja was conducted at her residence and she had kept a fast, so she did not eat anything until 3pm,” said the officer. Jariwala's parents left about 30 minutes after the pooja. They live in the same building – Golden Rays located in Shastri Nagar, Lokhandwala, Andheri West.

The actress collapsed hours after consuming some food that had been prepared the previous day. “The chef informed us that she ate food from the refrigerator after 3pm,” the officer said. Around 10.30pm, she collapsed in front of her husband, other family members and domestic staff. Her husband rushed her to the hospital immediately, but she died before being admitted.

The police found anti-ageing tablets, vitamin tablets and skin glow tablets at her residence in two boxes. A police officer said they found these tablets and other supplements in her flat. According to her family, she had been on self-medication for a long time. They have not filed any formal complaint.
