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.

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.
Shefali Jariwala, who shot to fame with her breakout appearance in the remix track ‘Kaanta Laga’ and also appeared on several reality shows, died at the age of 42 on the night of June 27.
