“Hospital records, police reports, reports from their own investigators, toxicology, histology reports,” McIntyre said, “and obviously autopsy findings.”

The hearing was adjourned to await the findings of further histology and toxicology tests.

But a provisional cause of death was not done "pending further investigation of histology and toxicology".
