- A 32-year-old Indian dentist from Kerala collapsed at her home in Sharjah.

- The final cause of death remains undetermined pending a forensic medical examination.
On Monday morning, a relative discovered her unconscious at home, performed CPR, and called an ambulance, but she could not be resuscitated at the hospital.
The deceased was a dentist from Kerala who had been on a career break to care for her two children, aged three-and-a-half and one-and-a-half. On September 17, Sharjah Police addressed social media speculation, confirming that the Central Operations Room had received a report of an unconscious person at a residence, prompting a response from security teams and the National Ambulance.

The family, who has resided in Sharjah for over four years and recently returned from India in August, stated that the woman had no known underlying health conditions.
They are currently preparing to repatriate her remains to Malappuram, Kerala, pending the completion of police, forensic, and legal documentation. Sharjah Police have urged residents and media organizations to refrain from spreading unverified information and to rely solely on official sources.
