Mayall, a pioneer of British alternative comedy and star of sitcom "The Young Ones," died suddenly on Monday. He was 56.
West London Coroner's Court today said that more tests would be conducted to determine the cause of death.
Police said they were called to Mayall's house by London Ambulance Service, where the performer was pronounced dead. Police officers said the death was not believed to be suspicious.
