S11+S12S_{11}+S_{12} can be negative, so it is never a multiple of a chi-square

Let U1,U2,…,UnU_1,U_2,\dots,U_n be independent identically distributed random vectors with common distribution Np(0,Σ)N_p(0,\Sigma), Σ=((σij))\Sigma=((\sigma_{ij})) is a positive definite matrix. Let S=((Sij))=∑j=1nUjUj′S=((S_{ij}))=\sum_{j=1}^nU_jU_j'. Then which of the following statements is not true?
