A post mortem to try to find the cause of death of heiress Casey Johnson has been inconclusive.
There were no visible signs of trauma, the LA County Coroner’s Office said, ruling out foul play.
Toxicology tests are being carried out but the results may not be known for some weeks.
The 30-year-old heir to the Johnson & Johnson fortune was found dead in Los Angeles on Monday but may have died several days earlier, police say.
She reportedly suffered from diabetes and had apparently twice been admitted to hospital after falling into a diabetic coma.
Reports also suggest that a number of prescription pills were also found in her apartment although police have refused to comment on this.
Johnson was notorious for her hard-living. Her drinking binges and rows with her girlfriends made her a regular in the tabloid press.
Friends including Paris Hilton have been remembering her on Facebook and Twitter.
Hilton wrote: “I feel so sad right now, my heart is in pain. Just lost a longtime friend. My heart goes out to her family. RIP Casey Johnson. Love you.”
Johnson’s most recent relationship was with fellow TV reality show star Tila Tequila, to whom she apparently became engaged in December.
She wrote on Twitter: “I can’t stop these haunting visions of her and I. We made such a lovely couple, only beginning to spend the rest of our lives together.”
A statement issued on behalf of Johnson’s family said: “The Johnson family is mourning its tragic loss, and asks for privacy during this very difficult time.”
Sylvester Stallone has broken his neck during filming The Expendables

Sylvester Stallone required an operation for a hairline fracture and had had a metal plate inserted in his neck, as a result of filming a fight scene with wrestling star Stone Cold Steve Austin.
The film boasts some of the acting world’s biggest tough guys, including Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke and British actor Jason Statham.
The 63-year-old told FHM magazine that it became “so vicious” that it got out of hand.
“Man, it was seven guys, kicking each other’s ass, one guy tougher than the next,” he said.
“No joke, our stunt guys were begging for mercy.”
“Actually, my fight with Stone Cold Steve Austin was so vicious that I ended up getting a hairline fracture in my neck.
“I’m not joking. I haven’t told anyone this, but I had to have a very serious operation afterwards. I now have a metal plate in my neck.”
The film, in which Stallone was also a writer and director, centres around a team of mercenaries who embark on a mission to overthrow a dictator.
It also features actress Brittany Murphy, who died last month after collapsing at home.
Tiger Woods Semi-Naked On Vanity Fair

Tiger Woods Featured On Vanity Fair Cover
A bare-chested picture of scandal-hit Tiger Woods showing off his bulging biceps has been exposed to the world.
The latest issue of the US magazine Vanity Fair, featuring the famous golfer on its cover, will hit newsagents’ shelves this week.
The revealing image was taken by photographer Annie Leibovitz and the publication promises a full portfolio inside.
The 33-year-old multi-millionaire sportsman has recently been dropped by a number of high-profile sponsors following revelations over a string of extra-martial affairs.
Vanity Fair describes the pictures of Woods – taken before the scandal that erupted after he was hurt in an early morning car crash – as raw and unguarded.
The article accompanying the pictures is definitely post-scandal.
It is called “Tiger in the rough” and starts out, “When Tiger Woods finally fell from his pedestal…”
Leibovitz, who reportedly took the pictures four years ago, said: “Tiger is an intensely competitive athlete – and quite serious about his sport.
“I wanted to reveal that in these photos. And to show his incredible focus and dedication.”
The photographs emerge at a time when the golfer himself has remained hidden.
Woods has not been seen since the crash outside his home in November.
The collision sparked the allegations that Woods and his wife Elin Nordegren had serious marital problems.
He later announced he was giving up golf for the foreseeable future.
US telecommunications company AT&T is the latest firm to end its association with the golfer following the claims of numerous infidelities.
Accenture and Gillette have also dropped support for Woods.
The latest Vanity Fair magazine will go on sale in New York and Los Angeles on Wednesday and the rest of the US on January 12.
