Amy Winehouse autopsy 'not before tomorrow'

Amy Winehouse's death yesterday is currently being treated as 'unexplained'.

Various reports suggest that an autopsy will be carried out either later today or early tomorrow morning to ascertain the cause of the 27-year-old's death. However, it has now reportedly been confirmed that the post-mortem will not take place before tomorrow.

Winehouse was pronounced dead yesterday after police were called to her £2m home in North London.

"Inquiries continue into the circumstances of the death, which at this stage is being treated as unexplained," said a Scotland Yard spokesman. "We do have people we're speaking to but nobody has been arrested.

"A number of people were helping police with their inquiries but we are still trying to establish who was with her when she died. It's fair to say these people are central to police enquiries in piecing together what happened before she died."

A police source reportedly told the paper that Winehouse's death is being treated as "drink and drugs-related".

Since news of Winehouse's death broke yesterday, tributes have continued to pour in from across the entertainment industry, with the likes of Rihanna, Lily Allen and Kelly Osbourne all paying tribute to the late singer.
