The cause of Amy Winehouse's death will not be known for "two to four weeks" police have said today (25 July).
The singer was found dead in her London home on Saturday afternoon.
A post-mortem took place this afternoon at St Pancras Mortuary and an inquest into her death was opened at St Pancras Coroner's Court. This was adjourned until 26 October.
According to a statement from the Metropolitan Police, a cause of death was not discovered immediately.
"It [the post-mortem] did not establish a formal cause of death and we await the results of further toxicology tests," they explained. "The results of these further tests are not expected before two to four weeks."
Winehouse's body will be buried on Tuesday at a private ceremony for family and friends, her spokesperson has confirmed.

LYING ON THE FLOOR STARING AT THE CEILING
WONDERING WHAT WENT WRONG
FIST’S ARE BLOOD RED FROM PUNCHING THE WALL TOO HARD
THE HOLE IN THE WALL AND CLOTHES ALL OVER THE FLOOR
YOU HAVEN’T HAD A CHANGE OF CLOTHING IN DAYS
YOU ARE WONDERING HOW DID I END UP LIKE THIS
AT FIRST IT TASTED BITTER BUT NOW IT IS TOO SWEET TO LET GO
YOU STARTED TAKING IT IN SMALL AMOUNTS BUT NOW IT IS NEVER ENOUGH
IT CAME IN A DISGUISE, CANDY COATED LOOKING WHITE AT SUGAR
IT CAME AT A TIME IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU WERE SO VULNERABLE
IT FELT LIKE YOU WERE STANDING ON TOP OF A SKYSCRAPER THE FIRST TIME YOU TOOK IT
NOW YOU DON’T WANT TO COME DOWN AND WANT TO GO HIGHER AND HIGHER
THE ROAD THAT YOU ARE ON IS GOING NO WHERE
THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF IS NOT THAT FAR OFF IF YOU DON’T TURN AROUND
THE PILLS UNDER YOUR BED AND THE POWDER STASHED INSIDE YOUR WALLET
THEY WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE IF YOU DON’T FLUSH THEM AWAY
FROM THE AMBULACE TO THE HOSPITAL TO YOUR DEATH BED
THAT’S WHERE YOU ARE HEADING IF YOU DON’T CHANGE YOUR WAYS
YOUR MOTHER GAVE YOU ALL THE LOVE THAT SHE COULD
YOUR FATHER GAVE YOU MORE THAN YOU COULD HAVE
BUT YOU STILL WANTED MORE (WHAT YOU HAD WAS NOT ENOUGH)
YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD FIND IT FROM THE USE OF A SUBSTANCE
A ONE TIME THING HAS TURNED INTO A FULL TIME BLOWN ADDICTION
NOW YOUR LITTLE BROTHER TURNS AROUND EVERYTIME HE SEES YOU
THE ROAD THAT YOU ARE ON IS GOING NO WHERE
THE EDGE OF THE CLIFF IS NOT THAT FAR OFF IF YOU DON’T TURN AROUND
THE PILLS UNDER YOUR BED AND THE POWDER STASHED INSIDE YOUR WALLET
THEY WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE IF YOU DON’T FLUSH THEM AWAY
FROM THE AMBULACE TO THE HOSPITAL TO YOUR DEATH BED
THAT’S WHERE YOU ARE HEADING IF YOU DON’T CHANGE YOUR WAYS
TOMORROW IS A BRAND NEW DAY AGAIN
YOU CAN START ALL OVER AGAIN AND PUT YOUR PAST AWAY
YOU NEED TO GET RID OF THE FILTH THAT LIVES INSIDE OF YOUR BODY
YOU NEED TO COME OUT OF THE DARKNESS THAT SURROUNDS YOU
YOU ARE LOST BUT YOU NEED TO FIND YOUR WAY BACK
YOU NEED TO KNEEL DOWN AND ASK FOR GOD’S FORGIVENESS
TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY WHERE YOU CAN START ALL OVER AGAIN.
