Detective Hippo has solved the mystery of Sri Devi Death: It was

Cardiac arrest.




Use of term accidental drowning in the report therefore does not rule out cardiac arrest.

Is it cardiac arrest before drowning or after? If the cause of death is drowning then it should rule out cardiac arrest. So... so confusing. If a person is consciously drowning then they will try to stay afloat besides she was in a not so deep bathtub so either she had a non fatal heart attack or she was heavily intoxicated or she fell into the bathtub. All of these can be answered by the autopsy.

I think she simply drowned. If drowning was caused due to cardiac arrest that should be mentioned. All drowning in bath tub happens to ppl intoxicated with alcohol or drugs or both. They fell unconscious in it and thus drown, never even try to come out because of the state of mind. Now, it can be accident or homicide. 20% cases of bathtub drowning are homicide, but one can never tell.

You can always tell accidental or homicide because a murder attempt will have tell tale signs like grip on the person's shoulders or arms, signs of struggle or injuries. There is no way a person will go down without fighting.

At this moment the report says traces of alcohol. Can small amount of alcohol cause someone to pass out in the bathtub?

The only reason her husband is being probed is not because they suspect any foul play but to find out her state of mind before her passing. I think they want to rule out suicide.

Anything can cause accidental drowning. If someone slips and falls for any reason (cardiac arrest, drugs or alcohol, slippery floor, carelessness) and loses consciousness, they can drown accidentally. Since they are not conscious they do not have the ability to pull their head out of the water to breathe.

Isn't that obvious she drowned after suffering a cardiac arrest her heart stopped which caused her to drown she was dead before she drowned. Drowning was the result of her death not the cause of it, it's the only logical explanation which fits the situation and the description we had recieved so far.
