An investigation into Amy Winehouse's death will begin in Britain, after the autopsy couldn't identify her cause of death.

Corner Sharon Duff ordered a Section 20 postmortem on Amy, which means that she feels that "there is reasonable cause to suspect that a person has died a violent or unnatural death or in any other way which would require an inquest."

We're not 100% sure what to make of this, given the fact that her death was deemed "non-suspicious" at the scene of the crime.

Here's what Duff said to the St Pancras Coroner's Court:

Last month, we were very sad to report that beloved Columbo star Peter Falk had passed away at the age of 83.

Now, we've learned that his official cause of death was cardiorespiratory arrest, while pneumonia and Alzheimer's Disease were both "underlying causes" of death.

Our thoughts and condolences continue to go out to his family, friends, and loved ones. He will be missed.

Now we know the truth.

Macho Man Randy Savage's autopsy results are in and it looks like the wrestler died from a serious "cardiac event" just moments before crashing into a tree last month.

According to the Pinellas County Medical Examiner, Randy suffered from cardiovascular disease. He tested positive for alcohol and hydrocodone during his time of death, however, they weren't responsible for his death.

So very sad. We're glad to finally know the cause of his death, but we're still sad that he's gone.

RIP Macho Man.

What a horrible feeling for her family, still not knowing what took their loved one away from them.

Sources who have seen Teena Marie's death certificate report that according to officials, the singer's cause of death is still unknown.

Apparently, under the cause of death section on her certificate, the coroner checked the box, "Pending investigation."

Sad. Hopefully, something more will be learned soon, so that the family can have some closure.

Once again, we send out our condolences to her family and loved ones she left behind.

Even though no one really thought otherwise other than his shady iffy wifey Shannon Price, investigators have announced that they have closed the case looking into who murdered actor Gary Coleman.

The coroner officially labeled his death an "accident" weeks ago upon completing his autopsy report and with that, the decision was final to shut down the investigation.

Maybe now he can rest in peace.

Very sad.

Officials at the Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office have announced that after completing an autopsy on Dr. Frank Ryan, a cause of death has been declared. According to the report, Dr. Frank died from "blunt force head injury".

There won't be any toxicology report for another eight weeks, so it won't be determined until then if there was any alcohol or drug abuse involved with the accident.

As bizarre as the whole situation is, we can understand why it would such a relief to her.

Brittany Murphy's mother, Sharon, is relieved that her son-in-law Simon Monjack's preliminary autopsy results have been released - which report that he died of a pneumonia and anemia, just like his wife - so the media will stop speculating that he was on drugs.

She says:

"As I was sure of, just like my daughter Brittany, there was no kind of drug overdose [for Simon Monjack].I am calling on the media to stop the reckless innuendos, that my daughter and son-in-law misused any kind of prescription medications."

Hopefully this will give her some peace of mind, but we still think there was some shady business going on with that guy.

Thoughts??
