The coroner’s statement was based on toxicology results, which typically take about 60 days to conclude.

“No significant trauma was present and foul play is not suspected," the County of Los Angeles Department of Coroner said. "It is anticipated that the final coroner report will be available for release within two weeks."

The coroner said that, since no foul play is suspected, the case is essentially closed.

Breitbart will star posthumously in at least two upcoming documentary films, explicit trailers of which can be seen here.
