    The actor was cremated with full state honours. A specially decorated truck carrying her body took hours to travel the 7km (4.3 miles) to the cemetery.

    Police in Dubai said the 54-year-old died "due to accidental drowning following loss of consciousness". She was found in her hotel bathtub when visiting the country for her nephew’s wedding.
