Officials conducted Winehouse's autopsy on Monday, but the cause of death was inconclusive; toxicology results won’t be back until 2-to-4 weeks to help pinpoint what killed the talented singer at such a young age.
At this time, police say any speculation about a drug overdose is "inappropriate" in light of the fact there were no drugs were found at Winehouse's London home upon inspection.
