Julia Bolcer, a spokeswoman for the New York City Medical Examiner, said she was unsure when the results of Monday's post-mortem examination would be available.
"Sometimes we have to perform additional testing," she said.

The post-mortem examination could explain how Hoffman died, apparently soon after injecting suspected heroin.
Among the drugs found in Hoffman's apartment were several packets stamped with the ace of hearts, as well as the ace of spades, authorities say.
Both are said to be brand names for heroin which street dealers employ.
Robert De Niro was among fellow actors who expressed their sorrow on Monday, describing Hoffman as "a wonderful actor".
