(Reuters) - Coroners conducted an autopsy on the body of conservative activist Andrew Breitbart on Friday but deferred a formal finding on the cause of his death until toxicology and lab tests are completed, officials said.
Los Angeles County Coroner's spokesman Craig Harvey said toxicology and microscopic tissue studies were ordered because of Breitbart's death at the relatively young age of 43.
They will take four to six weeks to complete, he said.
"It's standard procedure," Harvey said. "We have a very young man who died suddenly and unexpectedly, so we want to make sure we cover all the bases."

Could be just like when it was plastered on the news in 1993 that Vince Foster was "depressed." With the MSM as it is today, we have to do our own investigating and thinking.
Yes, indeed and now I’m getting suspicious and worried.
His last stop before going home was “The Brentwood” where he talked to a man, (I forget his name) at the bar for about 2 hours.
The thing with leftist societies after the tipping point is passed (e.g., California) is that nobody has to pressure anybody.
What are the chances that the LA coroner is a believer in The Revolution?
Pretty damn good. And what are the chances that if he finds evidence of foul play that he will tell the DA, who is almost certainly a true believer?
Near zero.
Oh dearest you. You’re reliving your borther’s sudden death. God bless you.
Andrew was so full of life and it sure seems possible he could just keel over without having known he had heart problems. He sure worked hard and loved to work because he loved his work and that in itself is a blessing!!!
So you think they’re just being extra super careful in determining the exact causation(s)?
It’s very simple. He either had blocked arteries or he did not.
Shirley is probably not out of trouble on this one either.
Then there's O'Keefe's suit against Obermann and Al Gore (and others).
Those people are ALL suspects in this one.
One of my Facebook "friends", a classmate from high school, was bashing Joe yesterday, so I de-friended the idiot today. I don't need any libtard friends.
Ha, well some of mine will most likely be deleting me also.. I posted Levins article telling the media to go to h*ll in response to daily kos petition that was posted. Its a shame but this is what zero has done...split the country in half.
Freepers need to get together on the Free Republic FB.
I hear you, but I’m thankful for their honesty. I don’t want a bunch of lib friends, and I doubt if they want me on their list either. Might as well sort this crap out right now, and stand on our principles. Like you, I know exactly where I stand, and with NO apologies.
The most likely cause of a sudden cardiac arrest, especially in a younger person, is not blocked arteries but an arrhythmia, an electrical disturbance in the heart muscle.
You don't even have to go that far. What are the chances he gets a bit of advice that it is better this way and to keep his mouth shut? He's already got a dead guy laying on his table --that's all the persuasion most would need.
Well, a 100% blocked right coronary artery caused mine at the age of 39.
My point was, in today's California, there is little chance that someone who could be appointed to the job of LA County Coroner would need any persuasion.
I’m sure glad you’re still here. : )
But what I’m talking about is sudden cardiac arrest and death in a younger person with no prior symptoms or diagnosis of heart trouble. This is tragically the case sometimes seen in young athletes or younger athletic types, usually male. They are fine one minute and the next, they are dead.
“Sudden cardiac arrest is different from a heart attack, which occurs when blood flow to a portion of the heart is blocked. However, a heart attack can sometimes trigger an electrical disturbance that leads to sudden cardiac arrest.”
In other words sometimes a sudden cardiac arrest is caused by a heart attack which is caused by a blockage but not all sudden cardiac arrests are caused by a heart attack or the blockage that causes the heart attack. People can and do die from sudden cardiac arrest without any blockages.
“Naguchi explained that there was no residue in her stomach because it was not uncommon for someone to be able to digest a substance more quickly than normal if that person frequently ingested it. Monroe took a lot of pills over the years.”
But yellow die does not digest, it’s absorbed through the stomach lining and that takes time.
