Whitney Houston's body has been flown from California to her home state of New Jersey, ahead of a funeral expected later this week.
惠特尼·休斯顿的遗体从加州被运往她的故乡新泽西州,她的葬礼将在本周晚些时候举行。
A gold hearse(灵车,棺材) took her body from Teterboro airport to a funeral home in her hometown of Newark, reports said.
The 48-year-old singer was found underwater and unconscious on Saturday in a bath at a hotel in Beverly Hills, police said.
Toxicology tests are under way after an autopsy(验尸) on Sunday.
The authorities say it may be up to eight weeks before they can confirm the cause of death.
No criminal probe is under way, police said, but LA's coroner said her room did contain some prescription drugs.
Funeral plans
In a news conference on Monday, Beverly Hills police spokesman Lt Mark Rosen said fire department officials were told the singer was found unresponsive on Saturday morning.
"Ms Houston was pulled from the tub by members of her staff and hotel security was promptly notified," he said.
"First aid and CPR measures were performed in an attempt to revive her," he said, adding that after unsuccessful attempts, Houston was pronounced dead at 15:55 local time (23:55 GMT).
The police spokesman played down(贬低,降低) reports that prescription drugs might have been involved in her death.
"Our intent at Beverly Hills Police Department is not to fuel the speculation or rumours that are circulating right now," Lt Rosen said. "We can't comment on where those rumours have come from."
However, the Los Angeles coroner's office then said there were bottles of prescription medicine in the room, although it did not provide further details.
"There weren't a lot of prescription bottles," said Ed Winter, the coroner's assistant chief. "You probably have just as many prescription bottles in your medicine cabinet."
