Kim Porter’s Autopsy Adds to Mystery Surrounding Her Death
Sean “Diddy” Combs' ex-girlfriend Kim Porter was found dead last week at her L.A. home, but what happened to the 47-year-old is still a mystery.
The Los Angeles County Medical Examiner's Office performed an autopsy on Friday, and spokeswoman Sarah Ardalani tells USA Today, "The cause of death was deferred pending additional tests.”
Toxicology tests have reportedly been performed, but results could take weeks.
Meanwhile, law enforcement sources tell TMZ that Kim wasn't feeling well and went to bed early Wednesday night. When family couldn't wake her on Thursday, paramedics were called. She was pronounced dead at the scene.
Porter was reportedly taking Saline and vitamins to battle what was thought to be the flu or pneumonia, but authorities are also checking to see if she may have contracted a disease during a recent trip to Africa.
