British police seeking to establish facts about the Christmas Day death of pop star George Michael are taking statements about the case.
Thames Valley Police said on Friday this was normal practice involving deaths that were "unexplained but non-suspicious."
The statement said the police investigation is "standard practice in cases such as this to allow the Coroner to determine the circumstances of the death."
Michael was found dead in his country home shortly before a planned Christmas lunch.
His manager said the 53-year-old died of heart failure.
