Well, the autopsy has been completed, but it could be awhile before the results are made public as the coroner is not saying what killed the Grammy winner.
Per CBS News, Beverly Hills Police Lt. Mark Rosen said that they may release more details today about Whitney's death, but it depends if the detective are comfortable releasing any information. It has been revealed that there were no illegal substances found in the singer's hotel room, but there were prescription drugs.
Authorities say the most likely theories for her death are that she died of a heart attack or a prescription drug overdose, CBS reports.
