Sri Lankan singer Malini Bulathasinghala died on March 28, and the killer is suspected to be a hair dye.
Malini was on a US concert tour, and her sudden death sent the Lankan media speculating on the cause. She collapsed at the Sri Lankan's consul's house in Los Angeles after she smeared dye on her hair.
The Los Angeles County Coroner's office report has reportedly concluded that her sudden onset of difficulty in breathing supports the diagnosis of an ashtmatic response to the henna dye.
The brand Malini used, Eagle's Black Henna, is popular in Lanka, and is made in Delhi. Ram Gopal and Sons, manufacturers of the dye, told The New Indian Express that said they suspected a fake which used their brandname.
