Shefali Jariwala had fainted due to low blood pressure before she was rushed to the hospital by her husband, Parag Tyagi, Mumbai Police sources have said. Her parents and a house help were also with her husband when she was taken to the hospital.

While her postmortem report is yet to be released, it has been learnt that the ‘Kaanta Laga’ fame actor was also self-medicating, and was consuming anti-ageing medicines for some years, sources have confirmed.

As the investigations into her death were underway, cops found two boxes of medicines at her Mumbai residence.

They also learnt that on the day of her death, Shefali Jariwala had consumed stale food, and later took her anti-ageing medicines.

Doctors at Mumbai’s Cooper Hospital, where Shefali Jariwala’s postmortem was conducted, suspect that the actor may have suffered a cardiac arrest due to self-medication, subsequently leading to her death.

They also said they were waiting for the actor’s viscera and blood reports to confirm the outcome of the postmortem.

Meanwhile, the Mumbai Police recorded Parag Tyagi’s statement in the case. He said that his relationship with his wife, Shefali Jariwala, was good and that both of them respected each other.

He also said it was difficult for him to come to terms with Shefali’s death.

Parag told the police that Shefali was physically fit but used self-medication.

He also told the police that they both had travelled to Australia in May this year for a stage show.
