Hyderabad, Dec 2 (NationPress) The remains of Kannada actress Shobitha Shivanna, who was discovered lifeless at her home here, were returned to her relatives on Monday after an autopsy, while Cyberabad police have escalated their investigation into the matter.
A significant number of her relatives from Bengaluru hurried to Hyderabad upon hearing the news of her passing.
The police turned over the body of the 29-year-old actress to her family after the autopsy was conducted at the government-run Osmania General Hospital.
Shobitha’s remains were subsequently transported to Bengaluru, where her family resides. The final rites are anticipated to take place on Tuesday.
The actress was found dead at her residence located in Kondapur of Gachibowli on Sunday.
She was discovered hanging by her husband Sudheer Reddy, who forced open the bedroom door after receiving no response despite numerous knocks.
Originating from Sakleshpur in Karnataka’s Hassan district, she had been living in Hyderabad with her husband, a software engineer, for the last two years.
The motives behind Shobitha’s purported suicide remain unclear. Reports indicate that police discovered a suicide note stating: "Everything perfect - if you want to commit suicide, you can do it".

Shobitha was featured in various Kannada serials, including "Brahmagantu", "Ninidale", and "Mangala Gowri". She also participated in several Kannada films, including "ATM: Attempt to Murder".
