Winter said in a media release, “We will be conducting an autopsy either tomorrow or Tuesday,” he said in a video interview on Sunday. Adding, “The final results will be pending the toxicology."

As to the cause of death on what caused Brittany Murphy's cardiac arrest he said, "The cause of death at this time appears to be natural. We do understand that she had a bit of a medical history and we’re looking into all aspects of that. There are some other issues….which I can’t get into at this time.”

The actress was confirmed to have been found unconscious in her bathroom early Sunday at her home she shared with husband and Hollywood screenwriter Simon Monjack.

“The family is, of course, very distraught. They’ve lost a loved one. There are no plans for a funeral at this time,” Winter said.
