Why was this thread moved from current affairs to music?

Why was this thread moved from current affairs to music?

I've just noticed this myself a few minutes ago, not sure

Why was this thread moved from current affairs to music?

It's because a thread was merged into this one and got moved at the same time. Ive moved it back.

Anyway, the private funeral is this afternoon in London.

[Slowpoke]

Indeed, quick burial as is custom in the Jewish faith

It's kind of sad, she dies and then she starts hitting the top charts, to be expected though I guess. Have they confirmed the heroin overdose yet? Apparently there were no drugs near her body, I find that odd...

[Matthew]

After the first tests I'm pretty sure they couldn't work out how she had died?

[Judas]

they couldn't find out and they've done a toxicology test or something like that, don't really know what that is, and the results of which will be back in a few weeks and will apparently determine the cause

her dad has claimed that she didn't die of a drug overdose and there were no drugs found in her home, but i guess we will see. if she didn't i will be surprised and relieved.

toxicology will be testing her blood for traces of pretty much everything i reckon. me and my mom were talking, and she thinks her body may have just given up with the state of her health previously. i don't know how she LOOKED at the time of her death, but she may have stopped eating again and maybe she collapsed. it may have been alcohol poisoning, or she may have overdosed on perhaps prescription drugs. my dad's ex-police and says he doesn't reckon it's suicide, the "unexplained causes" term rules out that she left any indication that she took her own life (e.g: suicide note, sorting her affairs prior.)

i'm glad she got a good, private send off yesterday with her family and i'm interested in her cause of death. in a way i hope it wasn't a full up drugs overdose, maybe it will vindicate her death slightly. think she's taken far far far too much abuse over the last 4/5 days.
