Shefali Jariwala tragically passed away on June 27 at the age of 42 following a cardiac arrest at her Mumbai residence. According to sources, the actress had been fasting and reportedly took an anti-ageing injection on an empty stomach, which triggered a sudden drop in blood pressure, leading to cardiac arrest. She was declared dead on arrival at Bellevue Multispeciality Hospital.
Her body was shifted to R N Cooper Hospital in Juhu for post-mortem. The police further revealed that the doctor suspected the sudden dip in her blood pressure levels to be the reason for her demise.
